Margaret Thatcher never wore a uniform and was never enlisted in any armed service. Do you think that she was not a great conservative leader? Bob Dole, John McCain, and George Herbert Walker Bush were all war heroes. Do you think that they were better conservative leaders than Margaret Thatcher?

Not to denigrate the Gipper's war service, but making films in Hollywood is hardly great preparation for commander in chief. Wearing the uniform is not what made him a great leader, it was his beliefs. No one should judge Palin or any other conservative on whether or not they wore the uniform.

And at any rate, the American electorate in general does not agree with your premise -- otherwise it wouldn't have elected Bill Clinton twice and most recently Obama. Neither of these men have worn the uniform.

You should be addressing that to familyop not me, by the way originally Reagan was in the cavalry and then was an officer in transportation during the early part of his WWII service, he then transferred to the movie dept. In all he had about nine years of reserve and active duty service.
