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.

Thanks for your link.
Sorry about the misunderstanding. I wish Carter had made it into the Nuke program just long enough for Rickover to have yanked a half hitch in his arse and pulled it so tight he walked leaned right for life LOL.
Carter was already graduated from high school when WWII broke out, he managed to avoid the war and then served in the Submarines and missed Korea, and never experienced anything like the Army, Reagan was a Cavalryman, an old school soldier in the reserves for five years before going active in WWII.
Reagan by far had more of a feel for real soldiering.
