Carter was also a submarine crew member. I have seen the training those guys got, plugging a hole (a simulated one with real water coming in) in a wall on a submarine with gallons of cold water coming in with other crew members working as a group to control a leak, is not a job for weaklings.[/QUOTE
Sub training can’t be easy. Carter had the goods.
As to his education, I’d heard many times that he held a PhD, and I believe it was in physics, applied, not theoretical, and now I’m being told no. If so, my wrong; and worse, wrong for the many journalists who wrote about Carter’s education. I didn’t grab the doctorate business out of thin air.
You probably just misheard. Carter had a baccalaureate degree in engineering, substantial on-the-job training in reactor operation (in the Navy), and completed a non-degree nuclear power plant operations course - but no doctorate or anything close to it.
Well, except today I spent time with idiots who kept calling Obama a “socialist”. One of them claimed he was born in Czechoslovakia, so he knew socialism.
As I said, if you know what real socialism is, you should be smart enough to know that Obama is not one.
In America, it has become just another meaningless insult thrown around by people who don’t actually understand the meaning of the word.
Given that the same researchers did an (equally flawed) study earlier which came to the opposite conclusion, I’m not sure that we can deduce the researchers’ political leanings from the outcome of their study.
