Will the U.S. ever have a President who saw combat in OEF or OIF?

No.

Politics has become a game for millionaires. Even the most highly decorated veteran would be lucky to be elected to any position higher than the US Senate.

Personally, I don't think you can lead something/someone without first hand knowledge/experience of how what you want to lead works to begin with. I personally think that being a Military Veteran SHOULD be a REQUIREMENT to be considered for President.

As good as I think that it could be for our country to get someone from our era of the military I don't think that with our current pollitical climate it would happen. Today to win an election you first have to have money and then you have to represent big money. I unfortunatly feel that the golden age of or country is behind us...the days of getting people into office that have the peoples best interest in mind are gone. One thing that everyone needs to rember when picking who to vote for make sure that what they say and do makes sense and they are for the betterment of the country not their party or big money. Stop listening to the big rallies and the big money news and think for your self educate yourself on what is important and vote fore that. BY doing that sweeping change to this country can happen and then I could very likely see and vote for anyone of you or the masses of other potential military cadidates.

I believe that most of the people that fit this bill, are too smart to do so. 20-30 years of politics is enough for most. It would be a refreshing move if one did though. (Hint, hint... Colin Powell).

Yes. Me. Vote Martuneac when you see my campaign ads in the future.

i too served under a president that never served. When he was called up he used a college. he also tried to send us to jump into haiti.

he also blessed us with payless pay days.

what happened to the mold they made ronald reagan out of. he certainly didnt take any crap. just ask quadalfi

I too served with a President who never spent time in the military. When he was asked to join he went to England to go to school. Yet the man was will to send me to Haiti to quall a coup in a country we had no business to be in. Also we were so blessed by him he gave us payless paid days. He didnt have the money to pay his military. Yes i understand we have a President that has no clue.

i agree Collen Powell would be awesome as a President. Do you remember when Ronald Reagan Called out Quadalifi. He was messing with the US and a tomahawk between his family and we had peace.

Absolutely.. Although, maybe not "Saw Combat" but at least someone who was commissioned/enlisted during the time. It is almost a natural chain of events. When you are directly evolved in the advancement of our society becoming the person to make changes that you found to be important seems to be the next step.

I can see a few of the officers and enlisted that I have served with running some day.
