7 Presidents Who Were Also Exceptional War Heroes
Even if the military experience wasn’t required for a presidential role, the resumés of 26 American Presidents included this kind of service. But it is true that the title of “commander in chief” reminds us of images of General George Washington while he was leading his Continental Army across the snowy Delaware river, but also with General Dwight Eisenhower accepting the Nazi’s surrender in WWII.
All the presidents who served in the U.S. military did it with honor and dedication. However, the service records of some of them are really impressive. Here are some of the most critical U.S. presidents whose military service can be called “heroic”.
Grant was a drunk who should have never had command of a boy scout troop.
What about President George W. Bush ?
There were a few more. Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, William Henry Harrison, James Monroe, Franklin Pierce, and George Bush. (Who was not shot down during the battle of Midway, but later on in the war flying over one of the islands in the Iwo Jima chain).
This is Theodore, thank you for correcting.
Jimmy Carter was in the Submarine Service, you dont get any braver than that!
What about George Bush the fighter pilot shot down twice?
You forgot George H.W. Bush that served as a Navy Pilot in WWII.
This is not Theodore Roosevelt, this is Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was President from 1933 until hill his death in April 1945.
I have posted this comment 2 or 3 times already, but it doesn’t seem to show up.
This is not Theodore Roosevelt. This is his distant cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, FDR, our longest serving president. , elected in 1932. 1936,1940 and 1944. He died in office in April of 1945, did not live to see the end of WW!!. Historians usually agree he was one of our three greatest, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and FDR. I was born in 1931, he was the only President I knew for many years.
THATS FDR NOT TEDDY ROOSEVELT! OMG
