President carter a fine president [View all]

Is a discussion we’re having at work this morning. Not sure how it got started the discussions basically are always over the yard jockey radios. Now I respect mr Carter one of his most amazing accomplishments was the peace accord between Egypt and Israel. And as young man I served in a infantry battalion that pulled six months in the M.F.O. Multi national force to keep peace in Sinai this was in the 80s my tour.

Even though president carter only served one term and I was teenager. I tell these guys I work with the peace deal he brokered is still in effect today. Today Sinai has changed with elements of isis but when I was there. It was a beautiful peaceful tour of duty and I came home with a awesome tan for Christmas. And jimmy Carter stopped the killing between Egypt and Israel and that is quite the accomplishment.
