Is Ike the guy who decided we needed to send our boys straight up cliffs and get shredded up by machine gun fire in order to take back Europe?

Good morning krb. The Foxhole recently covered some of military exploits of Eisenhower. Here is the link, maybe this will help answer your questions. Thanks for "falling in" at the Foxhole.

The men who went were more that willing to do it for this country and Ike. When you have served, as I have done, with those sort of people you get a better of understanding of why they did it. I am sure Ike would have been there with them if all possible.

He didn't make the decision, the politicians did.

He carried out his orders as did the men under him.
