Rest in Peace, President Carter

I know. I guess I didn't realize or forgot he was in the Navy until my employer posted this:

View attachment 925163

The only president to graduate from the US Naval Academy.

He graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946 and served as a submariner from 1946-1953 when he left active duty service as a lieutenant and continued his service as a reservist until 1961.

Come on. This is not necessary. The man just died. Good grief.

Did you not read the whole post.

Especially on the normal Community Board. That’s not right.

Apparantly none of you can read past the first sentence.

I was doing the math...we as voters were in our 20's and 30s when he was president...and of the 4 presidents to win the Nobel peace prize...3 of them have connections to Georgia....he won the election popular vote by only 2 million...I didn't realize we were polarized then

Yes, but he lost by a landslide so apparently we weren’t that divided after his presidency.
Good honourable man though just didn’t succeed in the presidency role.

As a fellow Christian, I respected him for his faith and his devotion to Rosalynn. RIP, James Earl Carter Jr.!

He held on to see Navy crush Army one last time.

I can read just fine, thank you.

My comment has to do with the board guidelines about political talk outside the CT board: https://www.disboards.com/help/guidelines/

Not the best President of the USA. But, in my opinion, the best PERSON to serve as President. A beautiful human being. Too good for presidency. I don't think good people can serve as President.

I would argue that good people should be the only ones who serve as President.

You act like it's my fault some posts aren't worth more than a sentence of my time.

When you have thread about a president and his legacy. Are we only allowed to mention his positive traits and not his negative? Maybe you should just have this thread moved then.

Yes, but they also need to be good for the country.

There is no need to move the thread. You just need to stop trying to pick a fight. This is neither the time nor the place. Just like in the original post in question. Have some respect for a person who just died yesterday and leave the pettiness out of it.

Would you go to someone’s funeral and behave as such? No? Then don’t do it on a remembrance post. If you feel like fighting go to the other board.

I don't think that's possible.

I said he was a honorable and decent man, but not good in the president role. I appreciate his service and charitable work. I don't see anything wrong with that analysis. Have a good night.

Now I'm really confused. @BayTower2010 said that and you "liked" their post.

Rest easy Mr. Carter. A life well lived, full of honor, dignity, and helping others.
