 "During my final flight physical examination at the Eisenhower Medical Center at Fort Gordon, Georgia, the medical officer colonel conducting the exam seemed uncomfortable. I asked him what the problems was. "Sir," he said, you've obviously got a number of service-connected disabilities," He listed my shrapnel wound and several back injuries. He then reminded me that the Army was cracking down on granting official disability status to senior officers. There had been a certain amount of abuse of disability status. A service-man's pension became nontaxable in proportion to the percentage of his disability on retirement. And the Colonel had been informed, he said, by the "highest authority," that I was to be released from the Army without disability. The man looked away, embarrassed. Somebody in Washington was sending me a nasty retirement present. Then the Colonel turned back to face me. "But, General," he added, "it's my duty to inform you that you are required to repeat this examination as soon as possible at a Veterans Administration hospital near your home. You may wish to know that they are authorized to grant disability status." We grinned at each other, two old soldiers. |

After high school, Carter enrolled at Georgia Southwestern College, in Americus. Later, he applied to the United States Naval Academy and, after taking additional mathematics courses at Georgia Tech, he was admitted in 1943. Carter graduated 59th out of 820 midshipmen at the Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree with an unspecified major, as was the custom at the academy at that time.[15]
Carter served on surface ships and on diesel-electric submarines in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. As a junior officer, he completed qualification for command of a diesel-electric submarine. He applied for the US Navy's fledgling nuclear submarine program run by then Captain Hyman G. Rickover. From Wikipedia. That right there qualifies him for more that 1/2 of Arfcomm. Good or bad, he stepped up then and at his term. |

You can serve honorably in the military and be a complete fuck up as President. They are not mutually exclusive. |

Carter may of "stepped up", but he was still a fuck up. And a terrible president, I remember the gas lines. Could only buy gas on even or odd days based on your licence number. I can give him credit for being a veteran. One + and thousands of - - - - - - -. So in short the Fail was strong with this one.

It was the only way for a young man to guarantee he wouldn't serve in combat. color me unimpressed. |

2nd worst President we have had. Clinton is number 1 in my list, Obama doesn't come close. Carter isn't even on my radar. I remember the gas lines, hostage crisis, unemployment, inflation, interest rates. It was much, much, worse than we have today. Anyone that believes Obama is going to kill America is a drama queen. We've suffered shitty presidents before and we'll suffer them again. Fear driven politics just makes things worse. |

One more thing. In January, 1979 we were staged to go into Iran but JC blinked.
All the embassy hostage drama, failed rescue attempt, the Iran/Iraq war, both Desert Storms, the Beirut barracks bombing that gave rise to the Hezbollah, and the Taliban in AFG which gave us 9/11 would have been prevented had we put an end to the Ayatollah stupidity before it got started. THE COST OF DELAY IS ALWAYS HIGHER THAN THE PRICE OF DOING.

He screwed south FL with a deluge of uneducated and criminal immigrants. He pretty much was Hezbollahs biggest ally. How any one can hold him up as anything other than a complete failure as a president is a mystery to me. Then again no one after him went after Hezbollah either. The folks who orchistrated the Beirut barracks bombing were never brought to justice to my knowledge. |

Fuck Jimmy Carter 
ETA: America's Worst President Ever!! ––Tied with the Communist in there now. Carter was ineffective. Obama is a Socialist....and much more effective. Obama is much worse. This. Carter was a nincompoop with no common sense and no organization. He was elected because he wasn't sophisticated or a Republican. Obama has a political criminal machine behind him. Zero is much worse. |

Singlaub should have been brought up on charges of treason.
According to Peter Dale Scott, ten days before his retirement, Singlaub attended a meeting of right-wingers who "Did't think the country was being run properly and were interested in doing something about it". The meeting was hosted by Mitchell WerBell. Singlaub now joined forces with Ted Shackley, Ray S. Cline and Richard Helms to get Jimmy Carter removed from the White House. In December, 1979, Singlaub and retired General Daniel Graham headed a delegation from the American Security Council, a private right-wing organization, on a trip to Guatemala. Singlaub pointed out that Ronald Reagan "recognizes that a good deal of dirty work has to be done" in order to destroy communism in Guatemala. "death squad activity in Guatemala increased dramatically following the trip." Upon his return to the United States Singlaub called for "sympathetic understanding of the death squads" (The Iran Contra Connection: Secret Teams and Covert Operations in the Reagan Era). http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKsinglaub.htm |

He had an opinion contrary to Carter........and probably planned some political hijinks to see him out of office.............I see no treason there
