Should Military service be a requirement to become President of the United States?

Recently on Facebook, a pic has been going around asking that same question. So I decided to look up how many Presidents have served in the US military. And this is what I found. 12 out of 44 Presidents have not served in the US Military. And one of them bribed someone else to take his place. And no, it was not President Clinton. You will shocked with him. But this president was from Ohio. There's your clue. And here is the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States_by_military_service

But do you all think? Should it be a requirement that the President have served in the US Military?

I am asking this question due to the incompetent leaders that we currently are having to answer to. I am appalled at the fact that there is no respect in a salute to men and women who are in the uniform. I am appalled at the fact that our constitution is constantly under attack from the current administration. I feel that future President's who want to lead this country should have served in the Military! You want the Highest position, you should have a CLUE as to what you control. As the POTUS you also should know that its not you, its the men and women that wear this uniform! Your decisions to send men and women into harms way should be JUSTIFIED.....not just because you are the President.....IMPACT of lives with the swipe of a pen....and no thought as to how your decision just impacted thousands of families etc. If you covet the Leadership of the Country.....THEN BE A PROUD AMERICAN that represents what this COUNTRY was FOUNDED UPON! The values of the Constitution and the PRIDE of the UNITED STATES MILITARY WHO DEFENDS THAT CONSTITUTION and THIS GREAT COUNTRY!!!

Join nearly 2 million former and current members of the US military, just like you.
