        When leaders lead, America is great - take notes, @realDonaldTrump, stop placing blame because you're a moron.

        What tremendous character Eisenhower showed. The invasion could have been a disaster, simply due to fickle weather in the English Channel.

        You can tell this was written some time ago, as few today are willing to take responsibility for their actions.

        Has any US military leader or recent president made a similar statement of responsibility? (Where is the American sense of honor today?)
