To be clear, I do not view Carter as weak; it was and remains the Republican playbook to frame post WWII liberal Dems as weak on foreign policy. It was a vestige of capturing Roosevelt Democrats, aka "the greatest generation," after 1945. This propaganda worked on my father and many vet friends in his circles.

I (perhaps many of you also) experienced a big and often emotional policy gap with that more hawkish generation regarding the Vietnam war, especially the VFW types.

While Trump, who CHOSE not to serve, played the weak-left card too. While Jimmy Carter won medals serving from 1946-1953 (and then until 1961 in the reserves.)
