to be fair.
I have more Medals than
Eisenhower.
I was and am an E5.
Eisenhower was a desk jockey that kept
a complex war machine together.
Not to take a way from him or his skills.
Battles do not win wars, logistics do.
“D-Day” was pretty deadly and impressive, but it only worked due to logistics.
I’m sure the guy on the right earned his stuff but his politics suck.
I would not trust his judgement any where, any time.
Decamping from Afghanistan was largely a logistics effort. He failed massively.
“ Eisenhower was a desk jockey that kept

Riiiiggghhhhttt.
And Michelangelo was just a guy who threw some paint around.
I herd that done guy named Beethoven just banged out a couple of notes on a piano .
Yes, Eisenhower was a master of logistics, and also of risk management.
In addition Eisenhower got Montgomery and Patton to work together and kept de Gaulle in line.
There may be other feats of leadership that are its equal, but few, if any, that are greater.
