The last time we had a Dim prez who served in the military was Carter. Since then there have been 20 years (5 terms) of Republican prez’s who served in the military. (Reagan served in the Army Reserve, and I believe the Bushes’ military service is already known.)

Bonafide draft dodger Bill Clinton beat decorated veterans Bush and Dole, and I don’t recall either of them whining about it. Joey Five Deferments has no such standing at all.
