I was a kid when he was Pres., but I remember him sending out the ill-fated mission to get the hostages out of Iran, which is totally understandable, but I couldn't think of anything he did that was an act of aggression. He's definitely the only one since FDR who never sent any troops out for a combat role, but my knowledge about 1900-1933 Presidents is hazy at best.
