George HW Bush passing has me thinking about our Presidents who would have been noteworthy heroes (or something else) even w/o being President.
Washington, Eisenhower and Grant come to mind. Then Teddy Roosevelt, and JFK. Most of the post Civil War Presidents served.
Now I'm not saying I would have signed up for Vietnam, I may have followed Cassius Clay to Canada. Clinton and W Bush each avoided the war as did many. Trump avoided the war Donald Trump’s Draft Deferments: Four for College, One for Bad Feet then bragged about his health.
Who good or bad or noteworthy is slipping my mind during breakfast here?
