I was in military while he was president, couldn’t get 15 cent O-rings or 5 dollar gaskets to build jet engines, couldn’t meet our war readiness spares so we were on 12 shifts 7 days a week twiddling our thumbs for months. This was right after Vietnam war and every B52 engine had to be completely rebuild due to salt air rotted out stator compressor vanes. There reason he lost. Personally I think he’s not bad person just il informed with other priorities and military wasn’t one of them IMO.
