—”No it was not unclear. It was a lie.”
Why would I lie about Reagan here when a google search can reveal facts instantly?
I’m a staunch Reagan fan!! I have a picture in my living room of him shaking my hand from my visit to his office with some well-connected friends of mine.
I just didn’t think his military stint was noteworthy as he was already a famous movie actor and part of the Hollywood elite and never served in combat during WWII.
Wikipedia says this:
-—”Reagan was ordered to active duty for the first time on April 18, 1942. Due to his poor eyesight, he was classified for limited service only, which excluded him from serving overseas...”
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Reagan wearing glasses in ANY of the pictures of the time (he did later in life). Could it be that he got preference because he was Ronald Reagan?
If so, I’m glad he did because he shaped our country for the years he was president and ended the Cold War.
I dunno. Why did you? You name dropped visiting him in his office and as a friend. Which is also now highly likely to be crap.
As you were defending “The draft dodging son of the anti-war presidential candidate of 1968, from a family that has never produced a man to serve America in uniform during it’s entire 173 year history here, and whose own sons also refused to serve in the military while their dad ran to be Commander in chief during war time, and Mitt has wanted to homosexualize the military for decades.”
Did you even read post 349? That is a LOT of military service, more than most of us, how can you pretend that those 9 years of military service in the cavalry and WWII mean nothing, and Reagan was not of the “Hollywood elite” when he started his 1935 course, and joined the cavalry in 1937.
Your beloved personal “friend” who you don’t know anything about you lying troll, had a detached retina, he had to beat the system to even serve at all.
You are a lying troll, you were no friend of Reagan, you don’t know about him, and you keep denigration him, his almost decade long military service, and veterans and military service in general, all in an effort to defend a draft dodger from and anti-military, anti-American family with an 173 year history of evading military service and of anti-Americanism.
How many years were you in the military?
