Listening to this video reminds me of the performance evaluation General MacArthur gave of Major Eisenhower in the 1930s. He said that in a war this man should go straight to the top. I can see why he also quickly and easily became president when he wanted to such is his remarkable insight.

We’re here to mark that day in history when the Allied armies joined in battle to reclaim this continent to liberty. For 4 long years, much of Europe had been under a terrible shadow. Free nations had fallen, Jews cried out in the camps, millions cried out for liberation. Europe was enslaved, and the world prayed for its rescue.
Here in Normandy the rescue began. Here the Allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking unparalleled in human history.
and
There is a profound moral differences between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest

Our landings in the Cherbourg-Haver area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops.
My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available.
The troops, the air, and the navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do.
If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt, it is mine alone.
