Greg Pollowitz points out:

It isn’t just that Webb praises DDE, it’s that he bashes Truman in the process. From the Sixers vault: (A Webb delivered Dem. weekly radio address) I’m reminded of another time, with a leader who truly understood war. In 1952 General Dwight Eisenhower, who had led us to victory in Europe in World War Two, strongly condemned the conduct of the Korean War as “an appalling failure.” He claimed “the old Administration cannot be expected to repair what it failed to prevent.” And he gave his pledge to “review and examine every course of action open to us with one goal in view: to bring the Korean War to an early and honorable end.” And you know what? When he was elected President, he did that. This might help explain Webb’s disdain for Truman:Both Truman and Johnson had a particular antipathy to Navy and Marine Corps budget requests. [10][11] Truman had a well-known dislike of the Marines dating back to his service in World War I, and famously said “The Marine Corps is the Navy’s police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin’s.” [12] [13] Indeed, Truman had proposed disbanding the Marine Corps entirely as part of the 1948 defense reorganization plan, and that service was possibly saved only after a letter-writing campaign and the intervention of influential congressmen who were Marine veterans [14] [15]
