Detrimental effect of Public disinformation by the NEW YORK TIMES Anti Military kabobs does great damage to Military Campaigns and the morale so necessary to achieve a real Victory

General Eisenhower delivers the real meat and potatoes right in the middle of this interview. In short, Hindsight is always 20/20.

The US did agree to elections when Ike was President but the US undermined the implementation and no election was held. They knew Ho would win in a landslide. He had been working on independence from the French since 1919. He was very popular in the South outside of the major cities. Remember the US funded the French military to fight the Viet Minh and the French withdrew without much effort. This was all documented by the Rand study which was printed word for word in the Pentagon papers. Other than that I am still a big fan of Ike. George C. Marshall was quoted as saying the US should never fight a land war in Asia. He was the guy that gave Ike the job that made him famous, Supreme Commander of the European theater. A dictator will fight a war until the last man in his army is dead. A democracy will fight it until the people vote otherwise.

Two great generals and great leaders. Unfortunately they don't know the bizarre manor in which Johnson is managing the Vietnam war.

Imagine a president speaking this intelligently today

At the time it was us the USA and we knew our history of Controlling thru our Financial Instituions but we competed with the Soviet Union which was a Brutla Communist Country were neighbor would snitch on Neighbor and it took Wars like the Viet Nam WAR to break the Soviet Unions Back no different than Russia supporting all of Isreal's Arab Neighbors for Oil plus it made us spend Bilions of Dollars to counter Same goes with South America The Korean War eventually the Soviet Union went Broke in 1989

They both supported the war and believed in the now utterly discredited " domino theory ".

Good examples of leadership......

Reading a book about operation market garden , Eisenhower let Montgomery run all over him ,allowing market garden to go forward . Montgomery should have been relieved of command for insolence and insubordination.Bradley refused to use shipping space for winter uniforms in the summer of 44 resulting in American soldiers going without proper winter gear during the coldest winter in Europe in 50 years . Not impressed with either one of them

These two pompous dicks caused 58,000 red blooded American boys to die for nothing. To Hell with them!

We never should have been involved in Vietnam, Ike was a good domestic president but his foreign policy, especially the collaboration with Dulles and the CIA was not something he or the country should be proud of.

I remember Regan’s first inauguration. Omar Bradley was there, being pushed in a wheel chair after it was over. To me it was a poignant moment and picture.

Sharp as a tack.

I like Ike!

Put this conversation side by side with one of Biden and Harris. What a contrast!

Both Knew the power of the military-industrial-complex! Unfortunately they both were looking at Vietnam as General's Not as Civilians!

Propaganda preachers.

Well, the Marine Corps General David M. Shoup was very much against the war in Viet Nam: "I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar-soaked fingers out of the business of these nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own-and if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type because the "haves" refuse to share with the "have-nots" by any peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American style, which they above all don't want crammed down their throats by Americans." General of the Army MacArthur (a five-star general) was against it too. Since he died in 1964, he was not available for this interview.

Dwight, one of the best Presidents.

Hey that’s my best friend!!

If they were in charge of fighting the Vietnam War we would have won

Eisenhower was a great general and president

Two great Americans

I like Ike.

I like Ike. And the Pentagon Papers uphold his views as to what occurred during his administration. However, Diem was an authoritarian POS and nobody quite knew how to get rid of him.

Is that the set of All in the Family? Where's Archie?

Eisenhower = chilled leader ...all he saw, still relaxed, even keeled, chill 😎 😅

First thing that struck me was, those generals are living

They were correct in their assessments, even from afar. Johnson and his incompetent administration were the ones that kept underestimating both the VC and NVA while also micromanaging the war to its absolute detriment. All well being horrible about communicating what they were trying to achieve with South Vietnam and in the rest of Indochina. They failed in that regard as well.

They were absolutely correct about Vietnam.

They may have had class but Eisenhower (whom does ALL the talking, BTW) was obviously wrong OR had a great deal of "military industrial stock!" Despite his famous speech, he did indeed, sell out after having gone to the area and declared it "unwinnable!"

Hurtgen Forest? Lorraine? Ardennes retreat. These poor decisions by Eisenhower/Bradley prolonged the war and caused 200,000 American casualties.

why is there 9 stars?

Amazing to see these two genuinely virtuous and honest men. They would have been eliminated at the rank of Colonel, if that, today.

youare the not so great grandson if you have to brag about others accomplishments. and the weigh your dna hangs in history is false humility

The class of 1915 brought me here

Bradley the brains and eisenhower the diplomat

They were the real deal.

Ass kissers to the elite

You failed to close the Gap. Then you told Patton to go back to Bed. We had won. Yep. There's going to he critics.

Hello Dr. Herbin. Great job.

Omar Bradley didn't say anything lol

Be very nice of one of those people said why the hell are we in Vietnam leave those poor people alone

What is that on his face? No way!

It would’ve been really interesting to hear President Eisenhower and general Bradley open up and tell them how they truthful .

Class, leadership, integrity, these gentlemen exude an aura sorely missed today. Two great proven patriots!

Awesome Workout.

Is the hotel limited to former military veterans. May I get the price for a 2 weeks stay for 2ppl single room reservation?
