Kulture shapes the history you learn.

If you grew up in America you might recognize the common characterization of President Eisenhower as an old man who mostly played golf and was rather senile.
While on the other hand Ronald Reagan was the Great Communicator.

Reagan was actually older. Reagan was actually senile. Eisenhower actually communicated the great threat facing the American people in the military industrial complex speech on his last day in office.







In fairness to Reagan, he did OK the last successful unilateral invasion of a foreign country.
