nice to know that my service to this country in the 70s is considered hollow.....
If you served in the '70s as I did, you'd know exactly what the General was talking about. Reagan was a breathe of fresh air when he came in and we started ramping up again. It was a damn good thing the Soviets never tried anything while Carter was in office.

like i said in another post, carter gutted the military...having to strip aircraft for spare parts was totally asinine...and no fuel to fly ‘em with.....or tools to fix ‘em with....yeah, i remember those days...

In the '70's we were underfunded, understaffed and our equipment was falling apart. The Carter military.
But we, perhaps foolishly, thought if we were called upon to fight the Sov's in Germany (the primary mission my unit trained for) we could get the job done.
