-—”You never served a day, and you are attacking Reagan for his 9 years of military service, after first claiming that he never served at all?”
Wow, now you’re accusing me of ATTACKING Reagan for his 9 years of military service!!!??
You’ve completely lost it.
I NEVER attacked Reagan. Rather I used him as an example of an EXCELLENT PRESIDENT who didn’t (serve/fight) in the military. I wasn’t clear in my writing and should have said “fought in the military.” I graciously apologized for that. You, my friend, have no manners.
Re-read my post that triggered your emotional outburst and you will see what I mean. Apologies accepted graciously.
It’s a shame that we have this kind of illogic amongst otherwise rational conservatives.
P.S. You still didn’t produce a link about Reagan’s retinal detachment. I NEVER said he was “faking anything.” Those are your words not mine. Again, please don’t deviously twist my words like a liberal does... you’re embarrassing yourself.
Unlike you, I won’t jump at the opportunity to call you a liar and a troll because I believe you made an honest mistake stemming from your poor showing in your “Reading Comprehension 101” class.
For some reason Reagan got excused from fighting overseas. Maybe the “powers that be” deemed him too valuable to fight and better suited for making military promotional films... I don’t have the answer to that. In any case, I’m glad he didn’t get killed in WWII.
Reagan managed to get into the military, and then stay in the Army, but his extreme nearsightedness kept him from combat.
“”Following the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, Reagan interrupted his acting career and on April 19, 1942, went on active duty. This was not achieved without some difficulty because when Reagan took his first physical exam, he was not accepted for active duty due to eyesight difficulties. His persistence finally triumphed and he was given another exam, which he passed. He was classified for limited service only, which permanently denied to him his ambition of serving overseas. His first assignment was at the San Francisco Port of Embarkation, Fort Mason, Calif., as Liaison Officer of the Port and Transportation Office.””
You want to keep mocking that medical problem and implying he was dodging something during his 9 years of military service that you didn’t know about, as you lied about being his friend, and 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.”?
I don’t know why you would want to attack veterans for no seeing combat, since most never do, and you have never even served at all.
But you were.
“Might I remind you that my friend Ronald Reagan ALSO DIDN’T SERVE IN THE MILITARY either (I visited him in his office once).”
“Are you also going to criticize the venerable Ronald Reagan for his lack of military service?”
