John Eisenhower Zitate

In the summer of 1952, when I was 30, the Army assigned me to an infantry unit fighting in Korea. Meanwhile, though, there was other news in my family: My father had become the Republican presidential nominee. As an ambitious young major, I refused any offers for other assignments.

Im Sommer 1952, als ich 30 Jahre alt war, wurde ich von der Armee einer in Korea kämpfenden Infanterieeinheit zugeteilt. Inzwischen gab es aber auch andere Neuigkeiten in meiner Familie: Mein Vater war Präsidentschaftskandidat der Republikaner geworden. Als ehrgeiziger junger Major lehnte ich Angebote für andere Aufträge ab.
