[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1874442, member: 6146"] The founding fathers didn't have a choice; it was that, be subjects, or die. I strongly disagree with veteran's status as a prerequisite. I want the best candidate for the job - regardless of what they chose to do for an occupation. I think that whole mindset somewhat plays into the "military industrial complex" Ike warned us about. Truman (vet) - Korean War Kennedy/Johnson (both vets) - Vietnam War George HW Bush (vet) - 1st Iraq War George W Bush (vet) - 2nd Iraq War/Afghanistan Military service didn't stop any of the above from getting us into questionable conflicts - and that's just since WWII.
