Absolutely not....a childhood toy I despised. My father was a hand-to-hand combat trainer in World War II and shifted over his lifetime from an FDR New Deal Democrat to a Nixon and Reagan supporter....poles apart of where I grew. At age 17 I told him that his values and politics indicated he fought on the wrong side in World War II
Despite their obvious faults, Nixon and Reagan look good compared to the crowd in Washington today. Nixon took the US out of Vietnam and forged d'etente with Russia and China, while Reagan negotiated peacefully and respectfully with Gorbachev. Both would be amazed at the crudity and aggression of the US today.
You’re not including G.I. Joe in that, are you?
