I disagree. Reagan had the right ideas, but in this age of insecure communications makes coordination more difficult. Think Swamp Rats or look it up.
Reagan was absolutely the right man for the late 70s and 80s, but fast forward 45 years and his ground work has been squandered by corrupt hacks pitching deficit spending and endless war. Today’s CONservatives couldn’t make a pimple on his azz, no matter how many times they reference him.
Being an aviation swabbie during the cold war, I have no combat experience. Closest I got to combat was when a Soviet sub that had been shadowing us mistakenly opened its torpedo tubes. It was quickly resolved. I probably don’t know what I’m talking about above. Feel free to clue me in about Swamp Rats or just ignore that post.
