President Eisenhower Predicted Our Current Situation
|
[Victory Girls] Sixty years ago, President Dwight David Eisenhower gave his farewell address to the nation at the end of his second term as President. Even those who have never heard of President Eisenhower know his phrase "military-industrial complex". He predicted our current situation and was so prescient.
If you are under the age of forty, you may not have heard of President Eisenhower. He was born in 1890 and raised in Kansas. He was a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. He served stateside during World War I:
In Eisenhower’s early army career, he excelled in staff assignments, serving under Generals John J. Pershing and Douglas MacArthur. After Pearl Harbor, General George C. Marshall called him to Washington to work on war plans. He commanded the Allied Forces landing in North Africa in November 1942; on D-Day, 1944, he was supreme commander of the troops invading France.
After D-Day, he received his fifth star. At the end of the war, he accepted Germany’s unconditional surrender. He was Chief of Staff for the U.S. Army, President of Columbia University and Supreme Commander of the new NATO force. He beat Democrat Adlai Stevenson and was inaugurated President in 1953.
Here in full is President Eisenhower’s farewell address:
