Education
After high school, Carter enrolled at Georgia Southwestern College, in Americus. He would later apply to the U.S. Naval Academy and, after taking additional mathematics courses at Georgia Tech, he was admitted in 1943. Carter performed well at the academy, and graduated 59th out of 820 midshipmen.[5]
Naval career
Carter served on surface ships and on diesel-electric submarines in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. As a junior officer, he completed qualification for command of a diesel-electric submarine. He applied for the U.S. Navy's fledgling nuclear submarine program run by then Captain Hyman G. Rickover. Rickover's demands on his men and machines were legendary, and Carter later said that, next to his parents, Rickover had the greatest influence on him.
Carter has said that he loved the Navy, and had planned to make it his career. His ultimate goal was to become Chief of Naval Operations. Carter felt the best route for promotion was with submarine duty since he felt that nuclear power would be increasingly used in submarines. During service on the diesel-electric submarine USS Pomfret, Carter was almost washed overboard.[6] After six years of military service, Carter trained for the position of engineering officer in submarine USS Seawolf, then under construction.[7] Carter completed a non-credit introductory course in nuclear reactor power at Union College starting in March 1953. This followed Carter's first-hand experience as part of a group of American and Canadian servicemen who took part in cleaning up after a nuclear meltdown at Canada's Chalk River Laboratories reactor.[8][9]
Wikipedia, your friend.
Upon the death of his father, James Earl Carter, Sr., in July 1953, however, Lieutenant Carter immediately resigned his commission, and he was discharged from the Navy on October 9, 1953.[10][11] This cut short his nuclear powerplant operator training, and he was never able to serve on a nuclear submarine, since the first boat of that fleet, the USS Nautilus, was launched on January 17, 1955, over a year after his discharge from the Navy.[12]

Folks, we use energy for everything, enjoy the burger and bun and make sure you throw the plastic Evian bottle into the recycle bin where the recycle truck that visits each individual house in your neighborhood can pick it up and cart it to the recycling facility where it will then be shipped off to be re-manufactured thus completing the circle of life.
Gary Locke is a walking tax problem, or more correctly a walking, talking campaign cash laundering ethics problem.
The technical term for Obama's vetting team is "clusterfuck".
Dude,
you wrote and played MUD's and that makes you notable how?
Not saying that Wikipedia is perfect, but this sort of whining about marginalia not be included for a very good reason just gets old.
Go read some web comics and chill.
Oh Jeebus,
spare me the "lonely" fisherman bullshit and do what your ancestors did, drink like a maniac when you get to port or stay home in the first place.
"On the contrary, during and prior to World War II, many enlisted men wouldn't even shoot their guns at other troops."
Your premise is based on a lie, S.L.A. Marshal's study that purported that a majority of U.S. combat troops never fired their weapons was found to be fabricated and has been thoroughly discredited.

The underlying risk models may have been faulty but they weren't the only reason for the crisis, unrealistic changes in accounting standards used to determine the day to day value of assets made an accurate assessment of the underlying worth of securities next to impossible in a fast moving down market.
The War Powers Act has always fascinated me, almost every serious political analysis of it I have ever read holds that if Congress ever attempted to enforce it it as written it would face a serious constitutional challenge, but since it provides political cover to both the Congress and the Executive branch it's likely to never be invoked.
WinFS the vision was quietly strangled in its sleep when Bill decided digital rights management for his "content empire" was more important than a paradigm shifting OS.
My experience leads me to believe that for the most part what you report is wishful thinking and that some of the biggest abusers of the process weren't "fringers" or "pseudo-scientists" but editors who felt they alone were entitled to determine what was and was not a fringe theory or pseudo-scientific. And that many of them were more than happy to obstruct the process where ever and when-ever possible even to the point of excluding any opposing point of view that would allow the reader of an article to decide.

Death to crustaceans! The more painful the better I say. And don't forget the butter.
Kapow!
If you are going to cite valid legal precedent, please use real life examples and not the 9th Circuit please.

They done f*ked with the wrong people now. You thought waterboarding was bad, wait until Pelosi and Reid get a holt of these badboys.
The words "Germany has this" and "it works pretty well" don't really fill me with warm fuzzies, no matter what the context.

"Poetic license"...Google that.
