But he was definitely a pro-defense (and pro-Navy) president.

He also had some (limited) experience in the military:

 Commissioned a 2nd lieutenant in the Army Reserve in 1937, Reagan reported
for active duty on April 19, 1942. Due to nearsightedness, he was eligible
only for limited service. An actor, Reagan was assigned to the Army Air
Corps' first motion picture unit to participate in training and combat
films. He also made films to raise funds for the war effort. Reagan left
active duty December 9, 1945, as a captain and was discharged from the
reserve in 1953 as a major.

Plus he starred in the film "Hellcats of the Navy." 
Tom Cruise should take note if he ever wants to run for President....
