Dwight D. Eisenhower: Cost of War
on Tuesday, April 27, 2021Dwight D. Eisenhower Money Quote saying the amount that is spent for the implements of war could build homes, roads, provide food and all the needs of a wealthy society many times over. Dwight D. Eisenhower said:
“The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this; a modern brick school in more than 30 cities; it is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population; it is two fine, fully equipped hospitals; it is some 50 miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron” — Dwight D. Eisenhower
