In Eisenhower’s defense, he refused to send US forces to intervene in the battle of Dienbienphu. A good general knows you shouldn’t start a war unless victory is a sure thing. That is now considered one of the best things Ike did as president.

It's said of Eisenhower that he got the US out of one war (Korea) and kept the US out of another war (Vietnam). Eisenhower is a very underrated President in my view.
