Seraph, you clearly did some research. You have presented some very good facts. I would still like to make a few points regarding this.

Yes I agree that Johnson was very agressive. You should know how much Johnson was criticised about the Vietnam near the end of his presidency. By the end of of Vietnam, Nixon had many of the troops withdrawn was because many of the Americans were oppossed to the war. Not because he wanted peace. Kennedy didn't even want any troops in Vietnam. So that proves Kennedy was less aggressive than Nixon.

Second, I made a mistake in using the term bankrupcy. What I meant was that the debt increased under Regean's Presidency. One the reasons was because of more military spending. There was a lot of debt near the end of his presidency.
You also cannot argue that Regean wasn't aggressive.

I'll try to make my point simple. There have been more agressive Republician presidents than there has Democratic. I'll list the presidents of each party who I think were quite aggressive.

Democrats: F.D.R., Harry S. Truman and Lyndon Johnson

Republicans: Dwight D. Eisenhower, Rihard Nixon, Ronald Regean, George Bush Sr. and George W. Bush Jr.
