- “This is an undertaking of 12 sovereign nations which have freely decided that free men can, in the face of danger, unite to the end that both freedom and peace may be preserved.”
Those are the words of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first NATO military commander to be appointed in December 1950. As the first Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), he describes NATO’s purpose and its ability to defend the values of the West through individual and collective cooperation. In the clip, Eisenhower discusses how the Alliance defends against communist dictatorship, but also safeguards peace and freedom for its citizens. Despite setbacks to national economies and communist advancements in Indochina and Korea in the early 1950s, Eisenhower stresses the increased strength of Allied troops in protecting the Western way of life. While the common effort of collective security may be costly, according to Eisenhower, no price is too high to safeguard peace.

Ike would be horrified at how far those exact same enemies have embedded themselves in the US gov and other govs. We can't help others if we don't fix ourselves.

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower stated in February 1951: "If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States, then this whole project (NATO) will have failed."
