I remember non-commissioned officers who were going to retire and they re-enlisted because they believed in President Reagan. That's the kind of President Ronald Reagan was. He helped our country win the Cold War. He put it behind us in a way no one ever believed would be possible. He was truly a great American leader. And those of us in the Armed Forces loved him, respected him, and tremendously admired him for his great leadership.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Wesley Clark" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wesley-clark/we-were-really-helped-when-president-ronald-reagan-came-in-i-remember/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d0d/wesley-clark-7521_armed-forces_we-were-really-helped-when-president-ron_2862780.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d0d/wesley-clark-7521_armed-forces_we-were-really-helped-when-president-ron_2862780.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d0d/wesley-clark-7521_armed-forces_we-were-really-helped-when-president-ron_2862780.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“We were really helped when President Ronald Reagan came in.

You can't live that way and the United States doesn't need to do it, it shouldn't do it, and I think a Democratic administration, whoever the democratic president is, will repudiate that kind of conduct. I think it was an overreaction caused by a lot of different strains of thought in the administration.
