President Eisenhower Orders the 101st AB to Arkansas !!

Hello,

President Dwight D.Eisenhower ordered the 101st Airborne to little Rock, Arkansas when local
politicians, of a 1 Political Party state, refused to protect the Civil Rights of Black Americans Citizens.

He took decisive action, and issued an executive order to enforce equal rights for all and the civil rights for all.
One of his most important actions as President in 1957.
Eisenhower ordered the US Federal troops in at night, so when the usual
mob rule protestors woke up the next day to create their mob rule protest, antifa like,
they had a nice surprise waiting for them !

Eisenhower ordered the troops in over night, one day after his proclamation telling the locals to cease and desist violating the students Constitutional rights, and refusing to enforce Federal Law, was totally ignored.

The Governor of Arkansas had been keeping the students out of school using the local National Guard.

Once the 101st Airborne took over, all went well with the US GI's, and the Black students attended school.

This was also a precedent setting, text book use of Executive power taking federal action against "rogue" state politicians.

Another video I watched has a worthless pos antifa like punk, with a brick in his hand, hitting a Black Marine Veteran, a newspaper reporter, in the back of the head with a brick, and knocking him out.

The Marine was over 6' tall.


Here is a link to a video that shows many M38A1 Jeeps an some M-38 Jeeps in action during an ugly era of segregation in the USA, that is no more thanks to Ike and the 101st.

Note the great markings on the 101st M-38A1 Jeeps !!
It would great to find one of these jeeps used in such an historical mission here inside the USA.

Obviously the M38 was the vehicle of choice for top brass at 6:12 of the video. He could have a taken a nice new A1 but chose the very nice M38👍 John
