The only reason Eisenhower was allowed to say the little he did say was that he had already surrendered. He stood by while Korean War funding metastasized into "the military-industrial complex". If anyone could have stopped it, it was a reelected President and five-star general war hero. Ike DGAF. BTW he was also the moron who let CIA off the leash, to the world's continuing sorrow. Just this week another chicken has come home to roost.
