Reagan enlisted in the Army Reserves in 1937 as a private. He was promoted to 2nd Lt. later that year. He served as a Captain in WW II, though was ineligible for combat duty due to bad eyesight. His reserve commission expired in 1953.
one of our biggest weaknesses is that most Americans expect , and hope , that an extended period of peace will be found in the future . I believe there will be war , much more war , and if we do not get in the business of kicking ass and taking names ; utterly destroying those that challenge us , we will lose and America ( as we know it) will fall . No talented business man or slick talking politician will save us , or can effectively lead us . America needs to be led by a warrior , not lawyers . Time to wake up , gird oursleves and be ready to fight . Standing with a real leader .
