What else did Reagan do that qualified him for the office of POTUS that Bush didn't do?
Hell, he didn't even serve in the military, did he?
President Reagan was an officer in WWII, however, his bad eyesight prevented him from seeing much action. He ended up working stateside, where he helped to make training films for fighter pilots.
Well, he did serve. He signed up for extension courses for the Army, in 1937. Then was in the reserves IIRC, until 1942, when he went on active duty.
It was his dream to serve overseas, but his bad eyesight prevented it, so he worked in the film industry making war films.
He ended up as a Captain in the Army Air Force.
(I just read all this last week somewhere.)
