He just got Americans killed, tanked the economy, and lost Iran to the Ayatollah. Whatta guy!

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

Demoralized the country....was deeply not suited for the job....accomplished little to nothing both in the job and after.

Jimmy Carter spent his entire post-Presidential life trying to help people, work for world peace and generally give of himself selflessly.

Current MAGA hero will likely sell Trump-branded socks and frisbees when he's out of office.

President Jimmy Carter

A trained nuclear engineer, Carter worked under famed Admiral Hyman Rickover, the father of the Navy's nuclear program, on the "Sea Wolf," an atomic submarine. He also studied nuclear physics at Union College in New York.

Profile in courage: When Jimmy Carter helped save a nuclear reactor​


In 1952, the United States military needed leaders for a new kind of mission. It involved a treacherous journey into unexplored territory, with danger a certainty.

But 28-year-old Navy Lt. James Earl Carter Jr. answered the call.

“Unexplored territory,” in this case, was the aftermath of one of the world’s first serious nuclear accidents. On Dec. 12, 1962, the NRX research reactor at Chalk River, Ontario, in Canada had suffered a partial meltdown. Ruptured radioactive fuel rods were stuck inside the reactor core. Radioactive water filled the reactor building’s basement.

Lieutenant Carter was an officer in the Navy’s nuclear submarine program and thus an expert on reactors and nuclear physics. He led a 23-person Navy crew charged with helping in the Chalk River cleanup. They were told that due to exposure to radioactivity, it was possible they would never have children.

He brought to the task precision, intelligence, and dedication – qualities that would later make him, if not a great president, perhaps the most consequential ex-president in American history. His famously demanding Navy boss, nuclear sub pioneer Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, later praised the work Lieutenant Carter did and said it laid the ground for his larger understanding of atomic science.

“He did an outstanding job,” said Admiral Rickover at the 1977 commissioning of a nuclear-powered cruiser. “In the process, he learned much about the practical aspects of nuclear power.”

The area where the Chalk River accident took place is in remote northern Ontario, 120 miles north of Ottawa. The site was chosen during World War II because of its access to cooling water from the Ottawa River and the stability of the region’s granite rock base.

Officials also felt the isolation of the place meant that spies would stand out immediately.

Following the war, it continued as an important nuclear research facility. Great minds of physics, such as Enrico Fermi, came to visit. The first highly enriched uranium used to power U.S. nuclear subs came from Chalk River.

Then on Dec. 12, 1952, two human errors in quick succession led to an uncontrolled chain reaction, which caused cooling water to boil, fracturing the control rods and causing an explosion. A quick release of more water flooded the building and prevented a full meltdown.

But 66 pounds of radioactive gas had already escaped from reactor building chimneys. Radiation alarms in town rang for 16 hours. Fortunately, no one died as a result of the accident.

At the time, the future 39th president of the United States was living in Schenectady, New York, and working at a submarine research facility. After graduating from the Naval Academy in 1946, he had applied to the new nuclear-powered submarine program, been interviewed by then-Captain Rickover, and been accepted.

He was in line to be a top officer on the Navy’s second nuclear sub, the USS Seawolf, and was designing a training program for enlisted members of the new nuclear effort. For Captain Rickover, Lieutenant Carter was a logical choice to send to Chalk River to help the Canadians clean up after their accident.

The rising young officer would gain valuable firsthand experience. At the same time, he could help the reactor get back online – something important to the U.S., as Chalk River was a source of fuel for its burgeoning nuclear Navy.

So, Lieutenant Carter led a team of 22 other U.S. servicemen to the remote Ontario outpost. Their role was to dismantle some parts of the reactor.

Each man could only stay in the reactor for a very brief period of time. They had particular nuts and bolts they were assigned to remove. An exact model of the NRX was constructed on a tennis court adjacent to the reactor building, and under Lieutenant Carter’s supervision the team members rehearsed over and over until they were economical in their movements and understood their task precisely.

They were then lowered onto the reactor dome for 90 seconds at a time, gradually removing the layers of shielding to allow access to the reactor core.

“Each time our men managed to remove a bolt or fitting from the core, the equivalent piece was removed on the mock-up,” writes Mr. Carter in his presidential campaign biography, “Why Not the Best?”

USS Jimmy Carter, The Sea Wolf submarine is the best submarine in the world!
They only made three, at 3 billion per sub, the USS Jimmy Carter cost 3.5 billion?!!

Did he volunteer?

If not he was following orders, which does not rate a trophy.

Never served moron can't read the link.

Dear Dumbass, Carter worked was a submariner who later worked on fledgling nuclear sub program under Rickover. He worked on the Sea Wolf program but asked for a hardship discharge before the Sea Wolf was completed. He was an engineering officer on diesel subs and was going to become the engineering officer of the Sea Wolf before his release from active duty.

The fact you are whining about this only serves to prove what low life piece of shit you are, comrade volsk. Go fuck yourself, tovarish.

Always. His one and ONLY reason for being here is to cause disharmony. I have literally seen him sabotage when people were just starting to get along in order to get them back at each others throats. BEST thing we all can do is put him on ignore,....it drives him CRAZY which is why he started tagging all you guys in an attempt to get you all to start reading his bullshit,....then Damo jumped on him about it so he stopped because HE HAD TO.

Dutch does what he does for 1 of two reasons and possibly both. First,....he is very unhappy with his current life so he wants everyone else to feel as bad as he does. Two.......he is getting paid by the post by some type of nefarious political organization or by several. Thus the reason for his astronomical post count in such a short time.

My bet? He is doing it for BOTH reasons. Very unhappy and hurting for money. I'd be pretty unhappy too if I had to resort to shit posting at a dime a post just to pay my electric bill! He's a scumbag,....and a broke dick scumbag at that. ANYONE can clearly see it,...even some of the libs he sucks up to. Half the time there are a whole lot of them that cant stand his crazy ass either.
 
To be clear........The only reason I advocate that we all put Dutch on ignore is not because we cant stand to see his nonsense,...not at all,...he's a joke. No,...instead it is simply to FUCK HIM OVER,....point blank. To stick it right in his ass. It is exactly what he deserves,....to be fucked over and deprived of his 150.00 bucks a month of pocket change he makes here posting nonsense all day.

Yes Trump has grace for Jimmy Carter even though Carter was a 2016 election denier.
