Picture of the Day: President Eisenhower Eats With Troops During Korean War

President Eisenhower Eats Thanksgiving Dinner

While the public expected Dwight Eisenhower would make a trip to the peninsula, as he promised to do so during his campaign, they didn’t know when it would happen. On December 2, 1952, Eisenhower arrived in Korea and spent three days surveying troops there. To keep details of the visit hidden, the administration gave off the impression he was still in the country by making a number of cabinet appointments from the president’s home.  [Business Insider]

You know, I don’t remember ever seeing where Obama visited the troops during Thanksgiving or Christmas in Iraq or Afghanistan in his entire 7 years in office. I am probably mistaken but I don’t remember any visits.

Obama visits the troops much more frequently than you might imagine.

Camp Red Cloud’s unofficial motto is: This (Golf Course) We’ll Defend!

Obama could have taken in a quick 9 when he came to tour the DMZ. But he hates the troops, and the ajummas would have already taken all the Tee Times. 😉
