Was Eisenhower's policy of massive retaliation effective?
Eisenhower's policy of massive retaliation aimed to deter Soviet aggression by threatening nuclear response to any act of aggression. While it successfully conveyed the U.S. commitment to defending its allies and maintaining a strong deterrent posture, it also escalated tensions during the Cold War and limited U.S. options in conflicts requiring more nuanced responses. Critics argue that the policy could have provoked rather than prevented conflicts, as seen in situations like the Taiwan Strait Crisis. Overall, its effectiveness is debated, as it shaped military strategy but also contributed to a precarious global standoff.

In presidents Eisenhowers farewell speech why did he use the word countrymen?
The term "fellow countrymen" was as common as saying, "...good morning gentlemen..." in the military (or for the speedway, "GENTLEMAN, START YOUR ENGINES!"); from 1776 until the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Up until 1975, all men in the US Army were referred to as "men." After 1975, commanding officers grouped their "men" into audiences at various forts and told them, "Men, from now on, we have been directed to call you soldiers, not men." Probably to reinforce the idea that men were soldiers in a troubled "anti-military" period in America (Vietnam syndrome). But also a reflection on the changing times in America...women were entering the man's world (military and law enforcement) and the terms "police OFFICER" was gender neutral (instead of policeman) and "soldier" was gender neutral (instead of "men").
Therefore, for today, for people who were born AFTER 1975, now you know that women weren't soldiers and policemen before you were born (except in extreme cases of course). They came after you were born. And, the words (terms) "men", "policemen", "Gentlemen", "Countrymen", "Fellow Man", "Man-kind", etc. were as common as breathing air or eating food. The word "Guy" (which can also be gender neutral) was not used as heavily as it is today.

General Eisenhower never called a truce in World War 2. His forces and the allied forces won World War 2 with the Japanese and Germans surrendering to the Allied forces. The Axis forces lost World War 2.
You could be thinking of the Korean War when the allied forces repelled the North Korean Communist Forces back over the 38th Parallel. There was truce called in that war. The Korean war never had an armistice or surrender. The war is still in effect and the warring could start again some day.
