When watching the debate something McCain said sounded familiar to me. I swore that I heard that exact quote on NPR a few days ago, and it didn't take me long to find it. Sept. 26, 2008; Oxford, Miss. "President Eisenhower, on the night before the Normandy invasion, went into his room, and he wrote out two letters. One of them was a letter congratulating the great members of the military and allies that had conducted and succeeded in the greatest invasion in history, still to this day, and forever. And he wrote out another letter, and that was a letter of resignation from the United States Army for the failure of the landings at Normandy." Sept. 19, 2008; Green Bay, Wisc. "He went to his quarters the night before the invasion and wrote out two letters. One of them was a letter of congratulations to the brave Americans and allies who landed at Normandy and made the most successful invasion and they brought about the beginning of the end of World War II. The other letter he wrote out was his resignation from the United States Army, taking full responsibility for the failure of that invasion," Now, I know that they are coached for these debates, and that they have set answers and speeches, but reusing sound bytes? Or worse, reusing an incorrect sound byte. No where in that note Eisenhower wrote did he make any mention of resigning. You would think that since he used this line before, that he would have made sure that it was historically accurate.
