HONORABLE military service should be a prerequisite for President and, therefore, anyone in the presidential line of succession. Voters should give more weight to candidates with military service backgrounds. Only wishful thinking on my part, though. Many of America’s previous and current “leaders” would have been kept away from positions of power if the aforementioned requirement was in place.

isn’t it interesting feminazis and libtrads tell conservative men we can’t talk about abortion because we won’t have the getting pregnant experience yet when we say people who didn’t serve in the military should not be on military committees etc we are close-minded.
i agree military experience should be a prerequisite don’t forget george mcgovern was a B-24 pilot and lindsey grahamnesty and juan mcvain have military service.

Since our country has never had a MARINE serve as POTUS, I believe that the time has come for this to change.

I would LOVE to see Marine General JAMES MATTIS (ret) step up for the job.

God knows that we would be better off with someone like him wearing the title of Commander In Chief. I believe that our allies could start trusting us again while our enemies would rediscover their fear of us.

OooRah!

Other than John McCain and Weenie Graham then who does that leave for the GOP in 2016?

Sure...we'd have saved ourselves from the Presidencies of:

Jefferson
Adams (both)
Lincoln

Just to name a few

Have you ever heard of “credentialism?”
