The point is, we had a Manhattan project for a weapon of mass destruction and to create the Hellish conditions of Warfare on Earth, but no Manhattan project for fusion (an energy with a future) nor even a Mission to Mars.I really miss our failed Manhattan Project for fusion (an energy with a future).The last Democrat President to start or escalate a war was Johnson in Viet Nam (started under Eisenhauer), but unlike Democrats, every Republican since Nixon has started a war or conflict. Nixon - Cambodia, Reagan - Granada, Bush I - Gulf War, Bush II - Afghanistan and Iraq.
To suggest that Democrats are aggressively militaristic is to be wilfully blind. Trump ran on a policy of building up the military. History tells us that every Republican military build-up leads to another Republican war. Gotta play with all the new toys after all.
Also Bush I: Panama, a blatantly illegal action. And Reagan funded contras and propped up Bin Laden.
Jimmy Carter notes that his administration never dropped a bomb, never fired a shot. That's not true of any other POTUS since Herbert Hoover. That's part of why the war nuts try to portray him as a "failure" --- he didn't give 'em a war to play with.
did you miss the gas lines and the failed hostage rescue?
it ended WW2 saving thousands of American and Japanese lives. BTW, Truman was a democrat.
