I'm sorry, which branch did FDR serve in? Assistant Secretary of the
Navy hardly qualifies as "military service;" it's a civilian
appointment.

Excuuuuuuuse me, the last fifty-nine and a half years. Picky, picky, picky.


Moreover, the fact that the greatest president in the
20th Century didn't have any military service (just the position), yet successfully led us to victory in the mother of all
wars proves the point that it isn't a qualifying distinction.

Ummm... you might be a little confused here. Ronald Reagan was never
Assistant Secretary of anything, but he *did* serve in the Army several
decades prior to leading us to victory over the Sovs in the Cold War.


Ronald Reagan was not FDR.


Right - RR fought, and ultimately was the precipitating cause of the demise
of, Communism, while FDR openly harbored Communists within his
government ...

Also, RR was a Free Market Capitalist while FDR was essentially a Socialist.
