“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
G.K. Chesterton
“When the rich wage war, it is the poor who die.”
Jean-Paul Sartre
Like so many republicans before him and since, Eisenhower said a lot of great things, but was a complete hypocrite and tyrant in his actions. And NO, that is not an endorsement of any democrat or their policies or actions.
