Let's see.....military service of Presidents:

Truman - Army in World War I
Eisenhower - Army WWI and WWII
Kennedy - Navy WWII
Johnson - Navy Reserve WWII
Nixon - Navy Reserve WWII
Ford - Navy Reserve WWII
Carter - Navy (graduated USNA in 1946 and served until 1953)
Reagan - Army Air Corps during World War II (1942-1945); Army Reserve (1937-1942)
Bush Sr. - Navy WWII
Clinton - ran away to Europe from military service (draft dodger)
Bush Jr. - Texas Air National Guard, 68 - 73
Obama - never served, and draft ended by the time he was of age

in addition, 21 of the remaining 31 Presidents served in some form of military service (including state militias).

That is, 12 of 44 Presidents did not serve in the military. And of those 12...

John Adams was chairman of the Continental Congress Board of War
Herbert Hoover helped guide US Marines in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion
Franklin Roosevelt served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy during WWI.

So that means that 9 of 44 didn't somehow work with the military in some form.

Zero is a bomber, alright, he’s bombing as a president. He bombs our economy, our Constitutional rights and freedoms. How can anyone say that he hasn’t engaged in combat? /sarc
