Re: The reports are true, Larry . . .

i was just clarifying two of the main thorns in his historical side. Personally, I liked him, but as a person, not a leader.

I do not fault him for the lives lost in Iran. He did micro-manage the hell out of a complex mission, but the errors that brought those birds down occurred in the field, not the White House.

Back to back 10% pay cuts didn't exactly endear him to the military, nor did the neglect that allowed the military to decay to less than 60% combat readiness.

I was there. I also recall a payday where we were given our checks, but told not to cash them. Congress had not yet voted on the Military Budget for the year.

As for his presidency being faulty, most administrations are a team effort.
