“And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue.”

Is he actually trying say that if WE WERE at war he WOULD have joined? This man is delusional. Plain and simple.

He makes it sound like the world was at peace in 1979.

Iranian militants seize US embassy in Teheran and hold Americans hostage.

The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

Commuinst China invasion of Vietnam.

Commuinst Sandinista takeover in Nicaragua.

USA breaking relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan) and establishing them with Communist China.

Jimmy Carter gives away the Panama Canal

Perhaps Obama didn’t consider these events significant enough to consider military service. The Democratic party did nothing but weaken the United States at home and abroad. Maybe Obama didn’t join the military in 1979 because Jimmy Carter was the Commander in Chief.

The best thing that happened in 1979 was the election of Margaret Thatcher. The election of Ronald Reagan the following year would begin the long process of cleaning up the mess left by Democrats and restoring America’s strength around the world.

He appears to be saying that,given the chance, he would have enlisted to fight in the Viet Nam War.

I get the impression he’s acting like he barely missed the war. The Viet Nam war ended when he was 10 years old!
It’s not like “gee, i almost slid in there and got to fight for my country!”
