Jimmy Carter, who once said his goal was to become Chief of Naval Operations, and who's naval career primarily dealt with [GASP] nuclear power, and who was part of a group of American and Canadian servicemen who took part in cleaning up after a partial nuclear meltdown at Canada's Chalk River Laboratories reactor in 1952.

If memory serves, it was LBJ at the helm when we got deep into Viet Nam.

Senator (former U.S. Army Colonel) Truman said on June 23, 1941, the day after Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union,: "If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible............

Harry Truman rose to the rank of captain in the army before becoming commander in chief. As you were.

I know the tired old guy Ronnie Reagan is the Patron Saint of the GOP, and I sure don't want to offend those that still burn candles in his memory and refer to him continually as if he was the father of America, but I am just wondering if anyone here ever got the "trickle down" money he promised when he gave the rich those giant tax cuts? If so , I would like to know if you have seen mine? I keep checking for it but it is still just "smoke and mirrors" in my in box.

George did the same thing, and the results are no better....actually, it was Ronnie that started the GOP on huge deficit spending and following Republicans have just added to the problem. But you go ahead and believe it is all Obama......Doesn't bother me, I made enough money with Bill Clinton to last a lifetime, or maybe two!
Regards!

He did indeed. He then served in the Officer's Reserve Corps until his retirement in 1953. He retired at the rank of Colonel.
