Probably the last true Stateman we will ever have as President.
True. He's remembered by most by 6 words "Read my lips, no new taxes", and that alone got him booted after 4 years.
Since then we have had a sexual predator as President, a well intended, but misguided President, a socialism President, and a TV President.

he may have been the last of the old school
There's no "may" about it. GHW Bush was the last of the WWII generation to hold the office after almost 50 years
Eisenhower served in the Army during WWII.
Kennedy served in the Navy during WWII.
LBJ served in the Navy during WWII.
Nixon served in the Navy during WWII.
Ford served in the Navy during WWII.
Carter went to the Naval Academy during WWII and was later a submariner
Reagan did not serve.
GHW Bush served in WWII.
After that, the only military service was 43's stint in the ANG, to the best of my memory. 41 DEFINITELY marked a changing of the guard.
ETA: Apparently, I was wrong and Reagan did serve during WWII. I never knew that. Those guys later in the thread did. I edited to keep this thread from filling up with people pointing out my mistake.
