“but you are being silly and lying when you misquote “Army Reserves” as meaning the active Army.”
You seemed to have missed the point. Someone in the Cavalry Reserves was not active, and it is a bit misleading to pretend that Reagan had years of service as a cavalry officer. He rode horses with the reserves for a while. When he went full time, in 42, he almost immediately transferred to public affairs, where he spent 3 years. He was a darn good rider, much better than I’ll ever be, but he wasn’t a “true cavalryman”.
No it isn’t, and I don’t know why you want to claim that, I served int the Army and then years later in the Army National Guard, in some units in the Guard and Reserves, you can have a ball, for instance in Green Beret, Ranger, and SEAL units, and fighter jets, etc. my guess is that in the late 1930s or at any time, Cavalry in the Reserves was as well.
Ronald Reagan had five years of being a Cavalry officer, he was absolutely a true cavalryman.
You reveal something odd during this bizarre anti-military rant, you keep describing Reagan’s 5 years of cavalry service as “”He rode horses with the reserves for a while.””, repeatedly you describe his 5 years Cavalry military service that way.
Trying to deny that a Cavalry officer with a Cavalry MOS, leading Calvary in a Cavalry unit for 5 years is not cavalry, is absolutely bizarre.
Putin just needs a rainbow flag.
Um,... huh?
Putin was an actual KGB agent and black belt - not a pussy
( Although I can’t believe I am siding with the Russian over an American president )
Working in the KGB and studying judo does not make him a masculine man, look at the reality and his obvious awkwardness as he has photographers take photos of him appearing to do masculine things, and how unmanly his desperation to appear masculine is.
you are missing my point- Obama is NOTHING compared to what Putin has accomplished
In Putin’s case it is real earned accomplishments.
I sure did miss your point, working for a big government agency and having judo classes for your hobby, are huge accomplishments, Willie Nelson just earned his 5th degree black belt in GongKwon Yusu, Korean martial arts.
Why this obsession with Putin’s shirtless pretend machismo, what is it about you guys and Putin?
geez, you’re just trying to be an ass now so forget it - trying to have a discussion with you is a waste of (probably) anyone’s time...
Here... I’ll play you for a bit: “What you must be an Obama lover because you don’t like Putin with his shirt off”
When I start talking up Obama the way you are doing with Putin, then that silly post would make more sense.
I insulted Putin, and you are taking it roughly.
