Sucking up to Arafat, and any commie running for office, anywhere in the world? Please....
One word. Malaise.
IIRC, Carter’s service was office patrol in the navy. Not exactly what i think of as being a veteran.
He was a nuclear reactor officer, maybe ended in an office, but either way that’s 100% more than most of today’s and recent politicians.
An hemorrhoidal assh*le, at that.
"President James Earl "Jimmy" Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1946 with distinction, after which he was assigned to USS Wyoming (E-AG 17) as an ensign. After completing two years of surface ship duty, Carter applied for submarine duty. He served as executive officer, engineering officer, and electronics repair officer on the submarine SSK-1. When Admiral Hyman G. Rickover (then a captain) started his program to create nuclear-powered submarines, Carter wanted to join the program and was interviewed and selected by Rickover. Carter was promoted to lieutenant and from 3 November 1952 to 1 March 1953, he served on temporary duty with the Naval Reactors Branch, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, D.C., to assist "in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels."
From 1 March to 8 October 1953, Carter was preparing to become the engineering officer for USS Seawolf (SSN-575), one of the first submarines to operate on atomic power. However, when his father died in July 1953, Carter resigned from the Navy and returned to Georgia to manage his family interests. Carter was honorably discharged on 9 October 1953 and transferred to the retired reserve at his request with the rank of lieutenant. The Seawolf-class submarine Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) is named for the 39th president.
Remember when he built the soviets a great truck factory.
Trucks so good the soviets used them to invade Afghanistan
Nice try...
“two years of surface ship duty”
BFD, hope he did not stub his toe.
All office after that. No one said he was not smart.
He also supported the virtual destruction of both our intelligence community and 80% of the basic scientific research in this country...
Neither of which has ever recovered...
Carter destroyed “80% of basic research”?
Can you tell me in what way?
Great guy, lousy president.
During the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, fundamental research in the U.S. was funded primarily by the Defense department...
As I experienced, firsthand, this was fully terminated by a Carter-signed law...
One of the results of this action has been its contribution to the well-known 60-year drought in new fundamental physics...
Is this the ending of the DOD sponsorship\subsidy of the corporate “IR&D program”?
I have a vague recollection of that.
And you excuse for Bush Junior?
He introduced mr khomeini to the world and the world is a worse, much worse place for it.
It affected government labs, industries, and universities...
It was, sort of, the equivalent of Biden canceling the Constitution and opening the Nation’s borders to everyone...
Although, instead of a fundamental science drought, Biden has enabled an economic, cultural, morality, and law & order drought that will last, in a similar vein, for the next 60-to-100 years...
So it’s different then the question I asked?
