The myth of Cincinnatus (don't worry, this is a good thing)
The guy who achieves great position but then humbly returns to the plow when the job is finished. Agree with the other "great man" comments below. What a well-lived life.

Yeah everyone has an opinion. But to say he was a bad former president
is just stupid. What makes a great former president? Playing golf till you die? Wrestling cattle on the family ranch? Or helping build homes for the poor?

Facts are facts, even moreso then. His entire record speaks for itself.
Doesn't require labeling other opinion characterizations as 'stupid'. Whataboutism is so 2016.

I don't know. Henry Rollins made similar promises.
And the public has mixed feelings about him. ** Edited by KCHokie2 at 12/29/2024, 9:48:46 PM

Wonder if he went through Rickover?

I'm sure he met him at some point, but since he went into...
...submarines, he didn't have to go through him to get out of the submarine surface. I worked for one person who did have to visit him when he wanted to go aviation. He said every rumor you ever heard about Rickover was true...lol
