Why does John Casey from Chuck have such admiration for President Ronald Reagan?

Adam Baldwin was personally responsible for the development of the Casey character, a character with which he identifies strongly. The photo of Reagan is his own personal photo, he often tweets Reagan quotes, and he is due to play Reagan in an upcoming film.

But they didn’t allow that to happen so I support and defend that in my civilian capacity as much as I can. And I try to portray that as well as I can. So, I love the military. I love weapons as tools of defending liberty, individual liberty, and freedom. I believe in the Constitution. I believe in the American founding documents, or as Madison or Adams called them, America’s political scriptures, which are the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights...
Casey defends, protects, serves America, which is what America’s scriptures say, which is protect, secure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, that’s what Casey, he is. You know, the folks (on "Chuck") were accommodating to the fact that I brought a perspective that they necessarily didn’t have in their life, or their creative writing, that could make John Casey more authentic...
Did you keep the picture of Ronald Reagan that was in Casey’s apartment? Well, that was mine. That was a copy I have, so I have the original. Yes.
