Don't know what
11 Bravo's source was, but it seems to exaggerate Carter's role substantially. From W'pedia, a reliably Lib/Prog source where such things are in play,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carter#Education :
On December 12, 1952, an accident with the experimental NRX reactor at Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Laboratories caused a partial meltdown, resulting in millions of liters of radioactive water flooding the reactor building's basement. This left the reactor's core ruined. Carter was ordered to Chalk River to lead a U.S. maintenance crew that joined other American and Canadian service personnel to assist in the shutdown of the reactor. The painstaking process required each team member to don protective gear and be lowered individually into the reactor for a few minutes at a time, limiting their exposure to radioactivity while they disassembled the crippled reactor. During and after his presidency, Carter said that his experience at Chalk River had shaped his views on atomic energy and led him to cease development of a neutron bomb.
IRL:
* Carter led
a team, not
the team;
* Carter took turns with multiple team members in doing the work;
* The job was disassembling the reactor, not shutting it down.
* This happened in 1952. Who among us were born in or before then? What in Hades does what JEC did in 1952 have to do with what he did 25+ years later. I'm going to have to disagree with Ralph, though. IMO, Clinton, OhBummer!, and
LIEden were/are worse than Carter, not that that means Carter was anywhere near OK.
Is
11 Bravo DU's
infamous Valor-Stealer? Or am I mixing up the name with that of some other DU-member?
