The soldes Korean War Relived: The Soldier Comes Out Of The War, But The War Lingers

"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. EisenhowerIf you want total security, go to prison. There youre fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom. -Dwight D. EisenhowerI have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America? -Dwight D. Eisenhower (sounds a lot like Trump to me)Only Americans can hurt America. -Dwight D. EisenhowerIn the final choice a soldiers pack is not so heavy as a prisoners chains.-Dwight D. EisenhowerThere is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs. -Dwight D. EisenhowerWhen people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. -Dwight D. EisenhowerMy name is Leith Lyman Cunningham, I was born and raised up on a horse and wagon type farm in Northern Michigan. It was a hilly farm and my father didnt believe in tractors. My father was mostly of a mind if we couldnt raise it, grow it, or hunt and kill it, we didnt need to eat it. We were poor but never really knew it because so was everyone else. We learned early on that hard work wouldnt kill us. Still, as a 17-year-old boy, I was born with a wanderlust. I always wanted to see what was over the hill and around the next curve in the road. Curiosity that killed the cat finally took hold of me and I joined the U.S. Army in 1949. I got caught up in the Korean War, wounded in action, spent the next year in an Army hospital; got married, had two kids and now write books. I hope you enjoy them."
