Dwight D. Eisenhower

Clausewitz says "Blood is the price of victory."

Ike is saying the cost of victory (in blood and treasure) will not be cheap.

Eisenhower was not missing any limbs but an infection he suffered as a teenager almost resulted in the amputation of a leg but Dwight refused to allow it, and miraculously recovered, though he had to repeat his freshman year of high school.

Warren led the Court to many decisions that supported liberal principles.

In accordance with his wish, the former general was buried in a regular soldier's coffin made of steel. To be more specific, it was a standard silver gray colored square design with stationary bars serving as handles and with a neutral, ivory colored crepe interior. The US government provided this casket to its active and retired soldiers at a price of $ 80 at that time - a price well below wholesale cost. The only "extra" distinguishing the casket of the former president from an ordinary soldier's casket was the equipment with an inner glass lid which converted the unsealed casket into a hermetically sealing one, making the coffin air and water tight. This specially ordered feature cost an extra $ 115, raising the total price of the casket to $ 195 - less than a tenth of a typical "presidential" luxury casket. As possible manufacturer of the casket the (former) Toccoa casket company can be named: although the company had lost in 1969 already its pre-Vietnam war position of being the largest supplier of caskets for the US military, Toccoa - unlike the new big government supplier Batesville - still manufactured caskets with inner glass lid. Eisenhower's personal choice of a regular soldier's casket reflects the modesty of this great man and the solidarity of this exceptional soldier with his comrades.

For the Eisenhower series some of the coins struck at the San Francisco Mint (S Mintmark) were 40% silver but in general none of the Eisenhower dollars regardless of date or mintmark struck for general circulation have more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums.

By the 1950s, almost every family of the middle class owned a car. This fueled the growth of businesses devoted to cars and, in turn, dependent upon automobile traffic. Service stations, doubled in the 50s. Auto parts stores, motels, drive-in restaurants, car washes, and suburban shopping malls became the backbone of the economy. But, automobiles demanded roads. In 1956, the federal government passed the Interstate Highway Act, which created the interstate system of highways we have today. Over 41,000 miles of new roads ran cross country by 1960. The roads were not only for the average driver, but they united the nation for military vehicles in the case of a national disaster or military emergency.

Eisenhowers running mate was Richard Nixon

Dwight D. Eisenhower was named Army Chief of Staff after World War II ended. The President of the United States at that time was Harry S. Truman. During World War II he served as the Commander of European Tactical Operations and Supreme Commander of Allied Forces.

He got " Ike " when he was a child. Ei from Eisenhower made the sound of Ike said his father.

The Federal Aid Highway Act which created the Interstate Highway system was the major legislation during his administration.

As a bill in Congress, the FAHA was promoted as the "National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956," primarily because its backers understood that federal involvement in highway construction was unconstitutional unless it could somehow be made to reflect a legitimate concern for a constitutional national concern, such as the "national defence," as the phrase exists in the Preamble to the US Constitution. Rumors circulated then -- and persist today -- to the effect that one mile in every five miles of interstate highway is straight and level enough to land a military aircraft on; this is simply not true, as anyone who has traveled the West Virginia Turnpike (I-64/I-77/I-79), among other stretches, will readily testify.

Bridge/overpass/tunnel heights for the original system were, however, set in order to provide clearance for highway-borne military missile transport, not commercial tractor-trailers.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th president of the United States of America.

During WWI he was a Lieutenant Colonel (Temporary), but he reverted to the rank of Captain and was promoted to Major. He held all three ranks during 1919.

Phrase used to describe the practice of government in Britain between 1945 and 1979. The phenomenon was observed by political scientists and media commentators; Britain's two major political parties, the Conservative Party and Labour Party, were in agreement, or consensus, over certain basic government policies in the decades after World War II. The introduction of fundamental changes in government responsibility, such as the welfare state, the national health service (NHS), and widespread nationalization of industry, were effectively unchallenged by either party. The consensus lasted throughout the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, but started to break down in the 1970s. Following the oil price rises of the early 1970s, the new economic experience of 'stagflation', where high inflation was combined with high unemployment, caused many in the Conservative Party to challenge the accepted orthodoxy of Keynesian economics - that a fall in national income and rising unemployment should be countered by increased government expenditure to stimulate the economy. There was increasing divergence of economic opinion between the two parties, ending the consensus of the previous decades. By the time of the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979 on a strongly free-market monetarist platform (aiming to curb inflation by controlling the UK's money supply, cut government spending, and privatize industry; see monetarism), consensus had become an unpopular word in many parts of the political establishment. The politics of consensus could also refer to the same time period (after WWII) on the United States political scene. President Eisenhower was able to gain a large political consensus with his massive popularity and high approval rating. Eisenhower was able to use the communist threat during the Cold War to gain a political consensus about the government's role in fighting communism. Eisenhower was avid on keeping the status quo in Washington and didn't change a lot in Post-WWII America because the economy was so good. Unfortunately the U.S. politics of consesus didn't last as long as Great Britain's due to two dividing issues in the 1960's the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement.

US General Dwight David Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander . He was also the first Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) From April 2, 1951 through May 30, 1952 .

Although Eisenhower had no preliminary ambitions to become a soldier, he entered West Point -- attracted by a free higher education -- and passed the entrance exams in 1911.

Eisenhower was an average student at the academy, but would later surprise the military community with exceptional ability. At one point, he nearly had to retire his studies owing to a sports injury. Ranking 61st out of 164 in his class, Eisenhower graduated in 1915.

The question is contradictory. Please be more specific. What broad subject are you seeking an answer to? Economically, politically, technologically, nationally, globally. What time range before or after his presidency?

one way in which they were similar is in their doctrines (Truman Doctrine and Eisenhower Doctrine) they each advocated support for other smaller nations in the case of an attack initiated by a communist nation in their doctrines.

one way in which they are different is in their containment policies. Truman had a strong belief in containment and the enforcement of it, but Eisenhower was more involved in worldly affairs (for example, once he got into office, he immediately made moves towards the signing of the ceasefire that ended the Korean War). Oh, and Truman was more liberal, while Eienhower was more conservative.
