Yesterday, I had some heated conversations with liberals in the publishing business. I asked one of them: who was the famous American President who was reelected twice during WW II? The answer was: Dwight Eisenhower!! And later I was told, oh yes that was "the army guy"!

I suppose "Chairman Mao", Joseph Stalin, and Ho Chi ming, were on the for-front of his mind while discussing politics....

I'm afraid you're giving them too much credit. I don't think they know all these "difficult" names.

Sheesh! Help me out here folks ...

Someone is a moron as well as a troll.

No president ... much less "the army guy" ... was "reelected twice during WWII".

The answer was NOT Dwight Eisenhower, the general who was the victor in the European Theatre of Operations [ETO, May of 1945] in WWII ...

WWII ended in 1945 ...

Ike was elected to his first term as president in the fall of 1951 and took office in the spring of 1952 ... nearly seven years after the end of WWII. So, he ["the Army guy"]clearly could not have been "reelected twice during WWII".

During WWII, the only "reelection" of a U.S. president was the fourth term of Franklin Roosevelt in 1944. Roosevelt's "reelection" for his third term in 1940 preceded the entry of the U.S. into the war in December 1941.

Nitpicking, perhaps, but certainly relevant. These "liberals in the publishing business" must be the ones publishing the text books that are being used in the gubmint schools to turn out the scholars of today.
