Eisenhower, the thirty-fourth president of the United States, greatly impacted the U.S. Armed Forces by leading the Americans out of the Korean War. Instead of following the advice he was given by members of the Republican Old Guard, Eisenhower decided not to use nuclear weapons to end the Korean War, but instead create a policy that issued a warning to the enemy that he would increase the conflict if he believed it was necessary (Sandberg "Five-Star"). Eisenhower's plans for dealing with Korean conflict demonstrate his caution with war plans. Due to the fact Eisenhower did not just want to attack reveals his thoughtfulness . His methods for dealing with the Korean War were very important because they kept careless plans that would eventually lead to the unnecessary deaths of many Americans off of the battlefield.

Finally, it shows the thought that went behind the plan which develops Eisenhower as a careful, hardworking commander in chief. Eisenhower's trip to Korea implies him benefitting U.S. Armed Forces because it shows his actions while working on the conflict. Additionally, in July 1953, the North Korean communists and United Nations signed a truce at Panmunjom.

This can be associated with helping U.S. Armed Forces because many lives were saved as a result of ending this war. The fact that Eisenhower was involved shows his impact on the situation. In conclusion, Eisenhower's dedication to providing safe conflict plans, working towards solving a conflict and ending …show more content…
