    Communism was a threat.

    Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy all believed that the US should continue to be the arsenal of democracy around the world and provide military and economic assistance to countries trying to resist Communist rule and Soviet subjugation. All three pursued an interventionist foreign policy of trying to stop the spread of Soviet domination and helping anyone who was also trying to do so.

    Eisenhower was better but all three were vets so their Policies should be better than Clinton, Obama, bush or FDR or LBJ. Truman lied to get

    Into service with eye sight problems. He memorized the eye charts to get it. Not exactly doing

    Things in the militaries best interest. We don't

    Want poorly sighted people in battle unable

    To see threats coming at our troops. That could

    Have cost thousands of lives. All it takes is one

    Small error in battle to lose thousands of lives.

    Dropping a bomb in the wrong place. Giving

    The wrong coordinates to attack. Sending the

    Troops in the wrong direction. War is complicated and brutal.

    They all believed in the domino theory in which Soviet communism would take over one country after another, so they would "fall to communism" like dominoes.
