"Being a general is the second most common presidential occupation behind practicing law." "Outside of the generals who have occupied the Oval Office, many future commanders in chief have served with distinction as lower-ranking officers." (Coffee pasta)
There have been 12 former General officers to serve as POTUS
Unfortunately, The practice of law is the most common path to the presidency. Military service is #2

appreciate your dig, chuckster. of course you are correct.
I did qualify my post by limiting the universe to the “modern era” and for me that took me back to WWII & Ike.
looking to the future, it seems successful business men do a good job. I woulda voted for Lee Iacocca or Ross Perot type candidates
maybe they should make a law that no lawyers would be allowed to run for president?
