SO WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE GUY WITH MORE MILITARY EXPERIENCE BECAME PRESIDENT?

From Politico:

David Limbaugh, the conservative author and brother of Rush, tweets an image you're likely to see again....


We patchouli-scented lefties and Democrats are all supposed to be quaking in our hemp sandals. But, um, why? Do you realize that the major-party candidate with less military experience became president as a result of the last five elections?

1992: Bill Clinton (no military service) beat Poppy Bush (World War II veteran).
1996: Clinton (no military service) beat Bob Dole (World War II veteran).
2000: George W Bush (Texas Air National Guard) "beat" Al Gore (Vietnam veteran).
2004: W (Texas Air National Guard) beat John Kerry (Vietnam combat veteran).
2004: Barack Obama (no military service) beat John McCain (Vietnam combat veteran, POW).

The culture war David Limbaugh is fighting? The American people don't give a crap. Or at least they haven't given a crap in a generation. Only the political world cares.
