>>>>>I guess its true - Reagan, 70 in 1981 - really couldn’t get elected in this day & age.

Don't bet on it.

I would like to know where are all the GOP leaders with at least some military experience?

To the best of my knowledge none of the names thrown around, from John Thune to Mike Pence to Jindal to Portman and even Romney, Huckabee, Crist, Sanford....none with military experience at all? Granted I checked Wikipedia, so that is dicey I suppose. Please correct me.

We are in the post Vietnam era. Is it because there was a 15-20 year gap between Vietnam and Gulf War 1? Still you would think someone would emerge that went in the military at some point. Even someone who went in for the GI Bill to go to college etc.

Odd, unless I am missing something in the bios.
