Was it "decent" when he slashed the GI Bill right before Korean War vets came home, telling all those conscripted men to pound sand when they came home with PTSD and no access to healthcare, higher education, or job programs?
Eisenhower reduced veterans' college benefits in favor of expanding college access to low-income demographics in general, and this only after a period of marked abuse of the GI Bill by predatory for-profit colleges - something a bipartisan commission in Congress had been studying for half-a-decade at that point and concurred with the course of action chosen.
