To be honest I didn't really care. Politics in the military wasn't that big a deal back then. When I went in I was expecting to go to 'Nam but by the time I finished my training (18 months) Nixon had already started the draw down so there were very few deployments going in country. I got out of the military in early 1975 so Ford wasn't my CIC for long.
How did you feel about serving under Ford instead of Nixon? Did you notice any difference?
