dwight d. eisenhower made decisions which ended the war in korea and avoided war in the middle east. john f. kennedy in his finest hour made the great decision which removed soviet nuclear missiles from cuba and the western hemisphere. i have noted that there's been a great deal of discussion with regard to this decision that i have made. i should point out that i do not contend that it is in the same magnitude as these decisions that i have just mentioned, but between those decisions and this decision, there is a difference that is very fundamental. in those decisions the american people were not assailed by councils of doubt and defeat from some of the most widely known opinion leaders of the nation. i have noted, for example, that a republican senator has said that this action i have taken means that my party has lost all chance of winning the november elections, and others are saying today that this move against enemy sanctuaries will make me a one-term president. no one is more aware than

here we have dwight d. eisenhower, 34th president of the united states and like hair yeah truman, very much a product of the american heartland. would have subscribed to a lot of the same values and embodied the same virtues. the men grew up within about 170, 180 miles of each other, had a lot of similar experiences. in fact, there was even a bit of overlap, eisenhower's oldest brother arthur at one time lived in the same boarding house as harry truman around 1900, i believe. even though the men did share a lot in common and there was a lot of mutual respect, there was not always a lot of mutual like for each other. we will discuss that in a little bit. which is kind of ironic, again, given so many similarities between the two men. next slide, please. we will go to ike's childhood and it always strikes me how similar this picture is to the picture of harry truman's grade school class, looks like it's about the same size and they put the students in the same pose. there you can see ike on the front row secon

you may be familiar or you are likely familiar with susan's grandfather dwight d. eisenhower's the united states president between the years 1953 to 61 or during world war ii as the supreme commander of the allied expeditionary force in europe. today we want to focus on a lesser known but incredibly important aspect of eisenhower's legacy. his determination to document the crimes that we now refer to as the holocaust even as the allies continued their fight against nazi, germany. eisenhower's then that one day some might deny the truth about the atrocities committed against european jews and other victim groups. during the course of today's show these placed your questions for susan as a comment section and we will get to as many of them live as possible. so let's begin by understanding a little bit of the forces that shaped your grandfather's background susan. where was he born and raised what was family life like for him growing up? well ike was actually born in denison, texas, but grew up in abilene kansas and there he was part of a german-american community tha

and then in 1952 the country elected a new president, dwight d. eisenhower. he was a west point graduate, graduated in 1915, and then four years after he graduated, in 1919, he accompanied an army con soy that went from -- convoy that went from the west coast to the east coast. and that journey took 62 days. and it appalled eisenhower. he was really, in a lot of ways, disgusted by it. he saw army vehicles getting stuck in mud. that was the condition of roads back then, really crude, primitive pathways for vehicles to travel on. and he recognized that this was a real problem. it was a problem for the economy because it hampered economic development. when you have transportation networks that are that crude, it impedes the transportation, the movement of goods and services. he also as a military man recognized that represented a threat to national security. in case of an emergency, you couldn't move military vehicles very easily along those kinds of roadways. is so i think that experience had a formative impact on him. it stuck in the back of his mind. and then

eisenhower as a general before he went into d-day wrote a letter accepting all responsibility in case of failure. where are those men today, that is one of them. pete: here's what the marine corps has to say jim's finger said the following lieutenant colonel stuart scheller was relieved by command, commanding officer school of infantry due to a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to command this is obviously an emotional time for a lot of marines and we encourage anyone struggling right now to seek counseling or talk to a fellow marine this is a form in which marine leaders can address their disagreement with the chain of command but it's not social media. pete: we knew it would not be tolerated it doesn't mean he's out of the marine corps yet but they don't tolerate this kind of dissent if the colonel relieving from his commanding officer this means he was responsible training the types of men that were on that and he said there has to be and needs to be responsibility and if one member of my pertinent lost a weapon in the operation i would be held accountable for that and we
