I was in the Navy during the Carter years and he was no friend of the military. Odd for an ex Naval Officer. I don't remember him as having any strong or directed agenda, he was just inept at dealing with the issues his administration faced. The double digit inflation, the Iran crisis, unemployment, he and his cabinet were just too stupid to deal with the problems in the country. He did get Egypt and Israel to sit down and hammer out a peace treaty. I was stationed at Annapolis at the time and several of us drove down to watch the signing. That was quite an accomplishment. Our current president is a very poor leader and his administration appears bent on dividing the country rather than actually addressing our real problems.
