Do you think the political meddling would be checked if there was a requirement for members of the Congress, Cabinet Appointees, and the President were required to serve in the armed forces?

I believe the military should be subject to civilian authority. I also think its a good idea for those officials to have served in the armed forces so they understand the consequences and gravity of the decisions they make.

In light of recent developments I think it would ber commendable. However, with a diminishing number of American citizens who serve and truly "do not get it," I'd be afraid that it would not fly. Good? Yes. Plausible? probably not. I guess we've had good and bad, regardless. Our founding fathers didn't think it important, probably due to the fact that most were patriots anyway. Then there is a Jimmy Carter. Along with the current admin, possibly the worst president to his time.
