Also, Dwight Eisenhower repeatedly referred to the Nazi forces as “Huns” during the Second World War.

Lots of people did. Someone who was around back then told me that a line in the song "Roll out the Barrel", was changed from: "We've got the blues on the run" to "We've got the hun on the run".

As for Eisenhower, two things I have heard about his behind-the-scenes behavior is that he made jokes about black people and did not like cats. I forgive him for the latter.

My bad. I was actually confusing the name "Hun" with "Jun." As in the "Jun Horde" that the Beastmaster had to contend with. Nobody wants to tangle with those guys. I've seen what they can do! So has Zed (Beastmaster Zed, not Pulp Fiction Zed).
