"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. .... Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." -DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, 34th President of The United States of America & The Highest-Ranking Commander of the U.S. Armed Forces that lead the largest and most-complex amphibian invasion in the history of humanity: D-Day, Normandy, France (1944)
