Of the 43, 4 only had military experience (general), 1 only had cabinet level experience (sec of commerce), and 1 had various presidential level appointed offices (territorial governor, solicitor general, federal judge, sec of war). The rest served some sort of public office prior to being President.
Just so we can get an idea at how unprecedented it would be to have a President with absolutely zero government experience.
Actually more than half (26 not counting dubya since he rarely showed up) have had prior military experience.
I still feel some sort of military experience should be a requirement when the #1 job a POTUS has is commander in chief of our armed forces.
