Did anyone catch this part of Zell Miller's speech:
Tell that to the lower half of the Korean Peninsula that is free because Dwight Eisenhower commanded an army of liberators, not occupiers.
Sorry, but Eisenhower never commanded U.S. (make that UN) troops in Korea--that would have been Douglas MacArthur, Matthew Ridgeway, and James Van Fleet. Eisenhower was president for the last six months of the war, but the frontlines hardly budged between his inauguration and when the armistice was signed in July 1953.
