What an amazing job he did, and those skills served him well as President, next to Reagan my favorite President. (Trump still has the potential, but I’ll wait until his second term is over before I pronounce him the best ever)
Lots of folks say Ike wasn’t a good general. But his ability to manage the panoply of characters he had to deal was amazing. Maybe Marshal might have been able to do it but none of the other Generals in Europe could have pulled it off.
