Although Eisenhower was a great General in WWII his true legacy is when he led our nation in the most dangerous of times after WWII. In those times the United States and the USSR were on a hair trigger of intercontinetal thermonuclear war.

Nothing happened during his presidency. That is his legacy. Eishenhower loathed and despised war. Eisenhower did understand what war is and what is today. Unfortunately the later occupents of his legacy did not understand it or rejected it. Nixon, JFK, Bush 1 and Bush 2 did understand this.

President Carter did not understand because he was and is a fool. President Obama is neither a fool nor a patriot.

If I remember correctly, Ike was America’s first 5-Star General.

After Ike retired to his Gettysburg farm, he established a relationship with Gettysburg College. There's a very casual, yet respectful statue of Ike on campus...
