Does a president's prior combat experience relate inversely to his eagerness for war in office?



Wilson: zero military service; involved the USA in World War 1



FDR: zero military experience; threw the USA into World War against both Japan and Germany at the same time.



Truman: battery commander in the artillery during WW 1; was so eager to exit WW 2 that he authorized the use of atomic bombs on Japan to end the war, which is the only actual use of nuclear weapons in history.



Eisenhower: WW2 general; sent 900 advisors to Vietnam



JFK: commanded a Navy PT boat in WW2, which was rammed and cut in half by an enemy vessel: sent 16,000 troops to Vietnam



LBJ: a grand total of 13 minutes in combat as an observer on a bomber plane during WW2; sent 500,00 troops to Vietnam



George H. Bush: pilot of a torpedo plane in WW2, was shot down; attacked Iraq after it invaded Kuwait, ended the war and brought troops home during his single term in office.



Bill Clinton: zero military service; sent troops to Bosnia and Somalia; attacked Iraq and originated the WMD hysteria



George W Bush: flew single seat jet fighter aircraft stateside, zero combat: started the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq



Barack Obama: zero military service; is continuing the 8 year old wars Bush started, with no end in sight for either one; has tripled the number of US troops in Afghanistan since he took office
