Many U.S. Presidents have served in the military, and the majority of those served during a major war. Do you think we will see a future President who served in OEF or OIF? Would the American public support a Veteran from this era in office?

Bush Jr. served in the Reserves and was never activated. Clinton dodged the draft through various means to include studying in Moscow during the Cold War and being involved in the antiwar movement. Nothing exists to indicate abusive treatment of the military during that time by him or Hillary, however it was a hallmark tenet that all Vietnam Vets were war criminals and deserved no respect and belonged in prison.

Should be a requirement! The President or nominee should have Military service and experience. Even if it is only in reserves or a 4 year enlistment.

difficult, the power of the lobby groups, PetroChemical, Big Pharma, the faux press/media and the Green Movement(ie: Communists) have successfully tied up our election process through the use of mega money and the brain washing of the American Sheeple have just about precluded the above average American the ability to run for anything other than local positions in our government.

I believe that it is possible to see an OIF/OEF Veteran one day sit serve as President. Will it be one of the current general officers - I hope not. Historically general officers don't make good presidents when you look at their records.
Jimmy Carter was probably a good naval officer on submarines but he was far from being considered an effective president.
President Reagan and President Bush (II) were more remarkable as president than their respective military careers.
President Bush (I) is a combat veteran and war "hero" in perspective. His presidency was not that bad.
Being a great warrior does not make a great president.

I truly think so. As time goes on so do the eras. It won't be long until there is an iraq war vet in office.
