7. Exactly, and Plus Remember
Wes was in the thick of the military when Reagan was running, and that was one of Reagan's NUMBER ONE positions, was support of the military. It was also a popular perception at the time (whether fair or not) that Carter was not sufficiently supportive of the military.

All of it was rhetoric, true, but it was good enough rhetoric to convince most of the country (military and otherwise) to vote for Reagan in a landslide, sadly.
