History records that Ike did not like MacArthur so I have to assume that his standing next to his boss during that time was simply out of duty.

I should say that I personally believe Eisenhower was at best a mediocre President but I would have voted for him had I been old enough to vote.

The point I was trying to make was that they were all doing their duty. MacArthur, Ike and Patton were all soldiers acting under their CIC's orders.

The feeling was mutual: "The best clerk I've ever had" -- MacArthur, speaking about Ike.
