Well, now, about Reagan - I was in the military at the same time as Dan, apparently - he did give us one good pay raise (14% is what I got as an E6 - took me above the poverty level for approximately 6 months).

I have always suspected that he lost interest in us after he determined that the Army no longer had any mule trains, because after that first raise we went right back to what we'd had before - generally, slightly les than HALF the rate of inflation.

This is also the man that attempted to make Blue Helmets out of the U.S. Marine Corps, but somehow St. Ronald never seems to bear responsiblility for the 63 souls that paid the ulitmate price for that policy. We kicked the shit out of them Cuban construction workers and threw one hell of a tantrum at Ghadafi, though ...

Finally, I do not dispute that the last years of the Soviet Union were dangerous times - but I don't think they were substantially more threatening than Berlin, 1948; Cuba, 1962; or the Yom Kippur war in 1973 (which Nixon doesn't get near enough credit for). Truman & Ike began, and his successors through Reagan followed, a policy of passive confrontation - the Cold War. Crediting Reagan for the collapse of the Iron Curtain is hperbole at its best. Reagan happened to be around when it collapsed under its own weight. What would have happened had the ongoing leadership struggle that began with the death of Breshnev not ultimately been won by Gorbachev - who would rank far higher on my list than Ronnie?
