--CONSIDER: compare the two quotes and their 'take' on war, research the DATE of each quote and Eisenhower's varying perspective, DEFEND/CHALLENGE/QUALIFY each one, etc.  

"When 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."
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its stupidity. War settles nothing."
"Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion."
"If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They’ll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government."
