["FDR and Lincoln never served in the military. I don't think James K. Polk had military credentials...."]

Hold on here. The job of a President of the United States is to MOTIVATE people - particularly those individuals in the US Congress. That is what's makes successful President.

My point was that these POTUS' served their country admirably as Commander-in-Chief, so maybe a "chickenhawk" that the left mindlessly chortle every chance they get, is not such a bad thing afterall.

BTW, Marius3188 reminded me that Lincoln did indeed serve in the Blackhawk War as a member of the militia. Polk was in the state militia. He was elected Captain (I guess the grunts had secret ballots back then) and then was promoted to colonel. So the leftist weasals couldn't slur them about being "chickenhawks."
