Line 189: Line 189:     
What part of his career is there to discuss?  He was an officer from more or less the midway point of WWI and kept getting promoted until he was made "Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe" culminating in the organisation and leading of D Day.  He then became NATO supreme commander in Europe from 1951 until he ran for president in 1954.  And that's just the highlights!  I understand that Ike is not popular on this site, but lets not pretend that he didn't have a significant pre politics career.  The very reason he won two landslide elections was because of his pre-politics career.  Unless someone can give a coherent argument to the contrary, I will move him up to the top section.  (And I don't think it can be argued he didn't have influence - his role in ending the Korean war, his moderating the demands of the Taft led senate all point to a significant influence, for good or bad).  --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 03:03, 10 August 2011 (EDT)
