Carter's presidency was a joke. He can be safely ignored.

"I'm having a problem deciding whether Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton is more disgusting."

A conundrum. Like is it more disgusting which critter left a load on the carpet, the cat or the dog?

...from one of the worst presidents. (he should know).

Since when has "divided the nation" ever meant the kooky left wing 17% is alienated.

There is no 50/50 split.

Carter is lying, again.

[Ieatfrijoles]

Why don't I remember polls being taken every 15 minutes when Jimmuh was in office?

"agrivating the subordinates"

Carter means the cold war do nothing military that was dependent of paper pushing rather than enemy killing.

also notice how he drives home the civilian leader as a commander in chief rather than the president.

Remember during the carter years they actually wanted to divide the presidency up into multiple parts. Essentially a Prime Minister President, A Congressional President, and a Military/foreign affairs president.

Carter was too small for the job.

The infrastructure in Afghanistan would not sustain a large US troop commitment without a major expenditure in air bases, etc. The decision was to keep a 'light footprint' for this & other reasons. The Russians shoved a fairly large size force into the country & accomplished very little. They might have put even more troops into Afghanistan, but the road nets & security of same prevented them from doing so.
