I joined the Army in 1978 because under Carter there WERE NO JOBS, Inflation was even worse then than today, and if you could GET gasoline, you had to wait in long lines.
My folks had a mortgage and no $ for me to go to college, so I enlisted. I graduated early from HS. I was NOT going to work a ‘Mall Job’ for the rest of my life. I was 17 years old. Had my 18th B-day in Basic Training. The Army gave me a JOB and and INCOME and an EDUCATION. ;)
Best decision I ever made. A Carter is STILL the worst president of my lifetime - until all the TRUTH comes out on Brandon and his Socialist Democrat Cartel.
At least the country was not half illegals in those days! Jimmah did not hate America!
You make some good choices... helps explain why you’re insightful.
Carter didn’t open the gates for foreign invaders without even attempting to determine if they are enemy combatants.
I worked two jobs in 1978. I worked for a rent car company and at a gas station. My job was to sit in gas lines to keep the fleet full of gas. On odd/even days I would swap out license plates. At my gas station job, my boss would let me fill up my tank when ever I needed to. Sometimes I got gas for free.
