Which is why we lost the Cold War.

When I was in the Marines I used to wear an olive drab tee shirt that said "Kill a Commie for Mommy" on it. Was it bigotry?

Of course if you choose to fly out of Washington D.C.’s other airport, Reagan International, there are numerous instances of military and covert operations including Grenada and Afghanistan connected to that name as well.

They are a lot more "numerous" than you could probably even imagine, since most of the covert ops during the Reagan years remained covert, kinda like how they are supposed to. One of the ones you forgot to mention which was pretty well documented was… Honduras.
