I was unaware he wrote a book(at age 86). Most of us were unaware of the Ford presidency. Should RR have replaced 41’ with Rumsfeld in 84’?

I went over to RVN as an idealistic young artillery officer, served there with no regrets and returned home (thankfully) with my honor and integrity intact. I believed in the mission.

Ten years later, I understood the hideous truth of it all. It was the worst period of our nation's military history, and it was fully run by the DemonRats. We could have supported the ARVN's but the DemonRats cut the aid.

Since that time, I have never voted for a DemonRat, even for dogcatcher. Dogs deserve better.

I remember reading the news accounts of this when I was a kid.

He’s always been a Leftist. Not to mention that he also voted against going after OBL in Abbottobad.

Can any of you tell me where on my navy dd 214, the honorable discharge code is listed?

I gave it to the state of ohio to get expeditionary force plates issued and the medal is clearly listed, but they balked because they could not find the code for type of discharge.
