Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower:
Dearest Mamie...
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower:
...at last the days grow longer and we will soon be in it. I face that with neither dread nor joy. How I wish this cruel business of war could be completed quickly. It leaves me heartsick to think of sending so many young men against Hitler's Atlantic wall. I admit to having developed a veneer of callousness, but counting the human cost is a terribly sad business, and no veneer of callousness allows me to escape the truth that back home the news brings anguish and suffering. So many youngsters already gone forever. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters back home must have a difficult time retaining any belief in the internal rightness of things. There is no true glory in war.
