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.

I think you guys are talking 2 different things. Pretty sure Pat was showing that 4 had Military Experience only (no other political experience).

I feel Military experience is important in a POTUS; however, IF he is wise enough to defer to his Joint Chiefs of Staff it is not a requirement. How could someone like Obama or Trump feel they have the knowledge to over-rule someone like Martin Dempsey on any Military matter?
