Off subject? I was replying to your no one would like the one who is constantly kicking them in the balls laughing and planning to do it again and again.
The problem with voting the lesser of two evils is that it is voting for evil.

"Let’s hope the next occupant of the Oval Office is someone who respects, reveres, and loves our military and can effectively perform the duties of their office to keep America safe."

Mr. Jeeves: "Well, you're getting Hillary or Jeb - so do banksters or Saudis like our military better? :) "

Can somebody, anybody, provide a listing of which if any potentially-potential Republican candidates for President have any military experience?

What about that new Senator from Iowa?
I like the way she talks...

I don’t think military experience should be a deciding factor for leadership in our republic... but respect for the military certainly should be. And an understanding of our history. No dem has either of those... and many repubs are also similarly lacking.

per my comment I understood the subject to be the US military and the troops dismal view of the obozo.

I thought as I was typing, “is it melanin or melatonin?”...looking things up is such a bore. Thanks for the correction, though!

samtheman: "I don’t think military experience should be a deciding factor for leadership in our republic... but respect for the military certainly should be.

Theoretically? Sure.
But the fact remains that our list of US Presidents with no military experience is short and undistinguished.

Indeed, I would delete John Adams, John Quincy Adams and Franklin Roosevelt from that list, since they all played important roles in wartime, before becoming President.

That makes the no-military experience list a rogues' gallery of undistinguished Presidents:

1. Van Buren
2. Cleveland
3. Taft
4. Wilson
5. Harding
6. Coolidge
7. Hoover
8. Clinton
9. Obama

Sure, you can correctly argue that Harding & Coolidge were great for the Roaring Twenties, but then you'd have to claim that today's world more resembles the Twenties than any other decade.
And even if that were true (it's not) we can also recognize that failures in the Twenties lead to world-wide economic, political and military crises in the Thirties.
Surely we would not want to repeat that!

Bottom line: only nine of 44 Presidents had no effective military experience = 20%, and few of those had highly successful presidencies.

By contrast, 2/3 of our Presidents were former military officers, including nearly all of the most successful.

So who do we have today?

15% military support for Obama? Now we know how many gay people there are in the military.
