they can be now. it's a different game then bck in the day, when bush got a pass by entering the guard.

i don't think one need be a vet to be president. however, i think if one had served in the military, they might be more prone to think about where they're sending troops before sending them.
our military is a powerful tool. not something to be used lightly, or regarded casually-especially when one knows it's flesh and blood people who will give far more than their commander in chief if the time comes.
