That just makes me want to become violent. They deface the greatest soldier our country has ever produced to put a picture of soldiers on a coin?

I have nothing against him. I do have the 5-Star Generals Profile Collection. All heroes in my book. |

I can not think of a response .... That would justify doing this to Ike |

Is that just a sicker on the obverse or is it actually painted (or printed)?

Good question. Either way, a little acetone could restore him to this former glory.  |

case is sealed but it looks like it's printed very thin and sealed on somehow following the device curves like shrink wrap

Printed; you can see the dot matrix. Perhaps a bit thick to help block the existing profile, and probably heatshrunk onto the coin.
