A combat veteran?? Nixon was in the Navy in WW II, never saw a second
of combat.

Nixon completed Officers Candidate School and was commissioned as an
ensign in October 1942. His first post was as aide to the commander of
the Naval Air Station Ottumwa in Iowa. Seeking more excitement, he
requested sea duty and was reassigned as the naval passenger control
officer for the South Pacific Combat Air Transport Command, supporting
the logistics of operations in the South West Pacific theater.[39][40]
He was Officer in Charge of the Combat Air Transport Command at
Guadalcanal in the Solomons and later at Green Island (Nissan island)
just north of Bougainville. His unit prepared manifests and flight
plans for C-47 operations and supervised the loading and unloading of
the cargo aircraft. For this service he received a Letter of
Commendation for "meritorious and efficient performance of duty as
Officer in Charge of the South Pacific Combat Air Transport Command"
On October 1, 1943, Nixon was promoted to lieutenant. Nixon earned two
service stars and that citation of commendation, although he saw no
actual combat.

We sure as hell don't need another Watergate break-in, enemies' list,
and the rest of the bullshit that went with Nixon.
