Woodrow Wilson - did OK in WWI
Warren G. Harding,
Calvin Coolidge,
Herbert C. Hoover,
Franklin D. Roosevelt Did ok in WWII
William J. Clinton - allowed Al Qeda to grow pull off 9/11
Barack H. Obama - allowed ISIS to grow, screwed up the Arab Spring and left US diplomats to die and knowingly allowed RUSSIANS to hack the election, and drew pink lines in the sand and then backed down sending a bad message to the world.


Sometimes, the results are mixed.

FDR served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and played a pretty interesting role in the development of the Navy we see today.

He actually requested to serve during WWI but Wilson denied his request asking that he remain with the Department.

Fun Fact.

Wasn't arguing that he didn't.

Just a interesting side-note. He had requested a Rank and Post but was denied by the President.

You have got to be kidding me. Clinton warned Bush about Al Qaeda and Muslim terrorists. Strongly. Bush chose to ignore him and concentrate on a nonexistent nuclear threat from Russia. It was Bush who convened one meeting of the terrorism threat unit in the eight months prior to 9-11. Or maybe it was no meetings.
Barack H. Obama - allowed ISIS to grow, screwed up the Arab Spring and left US diplomats to die and knowingly allowed RUSSIANS to hack the election, and drew pink lines in the sand and then backed down sending a bad message to the world.

That is even dumber than your comments about Clinton. Except for Syria, ISIS was a nonfactor when Obama left office. Trump is merely mopping up. Nobody allowed US diplomats to die, except in the sense that Republican controlled congresses refused to sufficiently fund security at diplomatic installations. Obama initiated strong sanctions and diplomatic punishments against Russia when the hacking was revealed. He knowingly allowed nothing. Trump benefitted from the hacking, which he unquestionably knew about even before it happened.

Of the presidents since Truman who served in the military, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and George HW Bush served in combat or in combat zones.


George W. Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard.

Ronald Reagan spent his service doing what he did in civilian life. Making movies for the Defense Department-or whatever it was called in those days.

Not that doing so was not an important contribution.

As an unelected citizen, he was not in a position to do anything about it.
0bama was and failed to do so.

You are right, 0bama left pools of red blood in the sand. ISIS was always a nonfactor during 0bama administration, because he was funding it.
