Thanks for posting.
Not sure what to say about the 80’s. Mostly forgettable.

Ronald Reagan isn’t forgettable. The country was much better off under him.

The 1980s were exciting, when camo was fashion.

The decade of survivalists and mercenaries with many magazines on both, Houston even had a nightclub themed on that with camouflage netting and survivalist themes and guns, a time of a raging left in Europe as the KGB fed deadly anti-Americanism terrorists groups kidnapping, killing, and blowing up stuff.

Reagan was pushing back against Russia all over the world, don’t know how much the public was paying attention but there were brushfires everywhere, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Middle East, on the oceans, in the air, friction and conflict all over as Reagan harassed and bled them wherever he could.
