Eisenhower would not be allowed in today's GOP

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.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. 

Dwight D. Eisenhower

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.

I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. 

Dwight D. Eisenhower

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.

War settles nothing. 

Dwight D. Eisenhower

We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.
 
Dwight D. Eisenhower
