    In business, just like in war, the few take credit for the work and will of the many.

    We remember Eisenhower, not the millions who died and sacrificed their life fighting for him.

      We do remember those people… there’s a huge WWII memorial in DC and memorials around the country. The Korean War has a great memorial in DC too, great statues.

      Dwight Eisenhower apparently has a small memorial as well. I had to look it up to find it. The first review says:

      We just happened to find this memorial while waiting for our timed entry into the Air and Space Museum.

      So, who is remembered more?

          You made the comparison between one person and a million. I quote:

            From memory, how many of their names do you know?
