<span>Where I see nationalism portrayed most in America today is every year at the Navy-Army football game. Every single person at the game has a sense of pride in this country because they or one of their loved ones has served or died for it. It is more than a game its a gathering of people who want to honor the military service members. The best example of this at the game is after all the points are scored and the game is over both teams gather in the endzone and sing. They sing there school fight songs to the cadets and the midshipman and it brings many fans to tears because this is the point where they realize that all these young men and women stand for something more.</span>
The answer is Dwight Eisenhower. As Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, he
planned the invasion of Africa known as Operation Torch and later planned the
Normandy landings and the invasion of Germany.
He later became commander of NATO in 1951. After his military career, he was elected the
34th President of the United States of America.
The statement is TRUE.
The Ethics Reform Act of 1989, guaranteed automatic cost of living adjusments (known as "COLAs") to protect the salaries of judges against inflation. This also applied to other areas of federal employment. Pay raises, however, could be denied if the President declared national emergency or some serious economic crisis were to generate a collapse.
Despite these promises, Congress refused on several occasions throughout the past decades to raise judges' salaries, even on occasions where other federal employees were benefited by COLAs.
This led to a series of court fights that culminated with the authority given to Congress to take away promised pay raises from judges any time before they'd taken formal effect. What this means is that the Constitution will only protect judges’ pay that has been “due and payable". The review of this ruling was denied by the Supreme Court for several years. However, Congress did end up voting to allow an increment of pay for judges later on (but not in 2007 or 2010, to cite some more examples of recent denials).
