>>I found nothing about a visit to Fort Morgan. I meant to post "Fort Mason". After SF, Reagan was billeted at Fort Roach, meaning that he lived there. He did get passes to see his wife and child but was not living with them. That is far away from your lie that he slept with her each night and concocted a bogus story to steal glory from actual combatants. >>Yet Reagan obviously believes he was 'off to war.'..." That's Wills' delusion. Wills strains to contain the facts to fit his desired conclusion. I doubt any serious biographer has made the same unsupported claim. In fact, Early Reagan says the opposite of what you contend: Reagan claims that those men who did not experience combat had "an almost reverent feeling for the men who did face the enemy." At Fort Roach this feeling was heightened by the constant viewing of millions of feet of combat film that was processed there, bits and pieces to be used whenever a real effect was needed - air crashes, men enveloped in flames, strafings - all the horrors of war." >>I will explain to you why I believe Reagan so easily promulgated that parasitic myth. Forget that nonsense, I want to hear you explain why you perpetuate it.
