This comment is about a great man Richard Nixon, a hero of mine.

My dad was all NAVY. During the Vietnam war, my dad was a friend of the local port Captain in Australia. When an American, British, or Australian ship docked, the port Captain would inform the Captain of the ship that he could select a member of his crew on shore leave to stay with us. Sometimes we had several sailors with us, my dad treated them like family. I miss my dad. He was hurt in the ww2 when his ship was sunk by a sub. He also served in the Korean war.

I miss my dad, yet he installed in me a great respect for our military. Often when I see a military man eating at a restaurant, I will pay for his or her food. On one such occasion I met a sailor that served under Nixon.

He told me that the men under Nixon would do anything for their commander. Nixon was a gambler, and he would often win money from his sailors. He always sent his winnings to the man's wife or mother, or he just gave the money back. On one occasion Nixon received a call from a crewman's wife that her washing machine was broken, and she couldn't wash her child's diapers. Nixon went to a store payed for a new washing machine, and payed for it to be installed. When the sailor got home his wife thanked him for the new washing machine. The sailor was confused, he didn't pay for a new washing machine. He found out that his commander Nixon payed for the Machine, and payed him back. Nixon sent the money to the young sailor's wife.

When a man will tell you that Nixon's men would fight to hell and back for him, you know that Nixon was a real leader.

Obama is not good enough to be a pimple on Nixon's a$$.
