LBJ served in the naval reserve in the military in WWII, so he did serve in the military.

My bad your right it was  California, but I thought he commanded two confederates, and one union general, and they would have been confederate:armistead, garnett, union: hancock.

What significant role did Armistead's uncle play in the War of 1812?

Ya I am almost positive that it was Garnett, Armistead, and Hancock. I beleive Reynolds and Longstreet were good friends.

Ya I knew they were because of all the accounts ive heard, I believe the one that Armistead was saying he was sorry that Hancock and been hit, not that he was sorry he left the Union.

Lol I see someones watched Gettysburg a few times, I love that movie. Longstreet: No 15,000 men ever made can take that ridge, its a distance of more than a mile when the troops come out they will be under fire from all over the field, and those are Hancocks men, and they have the stonewall like we did at Fredricksburg. Lee: We do our duty, we do what we must do.

Reagan was actually in the army in WW2, but he was unfit for combat so he made propaganda films, and Bush was in the air national guard.
