Sadly, the right usually has to bring back the military to life after dem's in office.I joined the Navy in 1980 for the last year of Carter's administration and heading into 8 years of Reagan. I can tell you the changes that were initiated in support of the DOD and military benefits, not just weapons and ships, were amazing and well deserved and received. His 8 years in office were to me, as a military officer, tremendous.
