Reagan was a pre-WW2 vet joining the Army reserves in 1937 in an Artillery unit. He went active for WW2 in 1942 but had vision issues that kept him stateside and he served stateside till 1945. http://conservativelife.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/military-service-of-ronald-reagan/

My reference to Carter and Reagan was meant to address the fact that Carter served in a combat role, and Reagan spent most of his time in a communications role, public relations etc. You are right concerning his vision issue.

You see, it was my intent to convey Carter should have known better, and Reagan actually did.

There was no intent of slight concerning Reagan. In fact it was more of a compliment to him. He got it. Carter couldn’t find his ass with both hands if it were on fire.

Here is a link I proved to someone who FReep-Mailed me on the issue.
