Aus einer Slate Kolumne von David Greenberg (D-Day OD) erfährt man, dass Reagan WWII als Angehöriger der "First Motion Picture Unit of the Army Air Corps" verbracht hat:

At times Reagan even confused the real war with memories of films he acted in or watched, as when he "remembered" having liberated the Nazi camps.

Wie wäre es damit: Ex-President George W. Bush remembers the Good Old Days: "And in this War on Terror ... you know when we liberated Iraq and captured Saddam and it was all "Mission Accomplished" ... you remember?" - "Sir, that was just the sign they put on the aircraft carrier when you were having your Top Gun moment. And the Iraq War had nothing to do with the War on Terror; nevertheless both went wrong." - "You mean when I landed this fighter jet on the aircraft carrier like in my old days as a pilot during Vietnam?" - "Sir, you did not land that jet, you just put on a pilot's uniform and you did not serve in Vietnam. Instead you spent some time at the National Guard in Texas where you did not fly the required hours and went AWOL."

Tatsächlich ist da noch einiges mehr drinnen, aber momentan fällt mir nichts ein.
