I can agree with you that I miss Reagan.
The rest, is simply your opinion of Reagan’s motives. We don’t know why he chose them - even if he personally knew them. It appears you are reading his mind or assuming things that you have not provided evidence to support.
It is, in short, a normal mormon tactic of trying to portray legitimacy by associating with another object that carries legitimacy. It is the antithesis of an ad hominem attack - a logical fallacy of attacking the messenger instead of dealing with the underlying argument. In this case, it is an ad hominem implied blessing, instead of dealing with any underlying facts. If it is indeed true, it still does not make mormonism true.
But it remains unproven.
To the degree people served Reagan and country, I’m very proud of them ALL. The additional fact that somehow mormonites were represented among them is not consequential to this thread discussion.

Are you suggesting he picked them BECAUSE they were Mormon?
Even I doubt that, but Reagan was a man who surrounded himself with people he respected.
Of course we don’t know his motives, but their religion certainly didn’t matter to him. Or maybe it did, in a good way, we just don’t know.
I respect him a great deal. I doubt he would have much use for these kinds of threads.
That is all.
