"a lot of people believe in Peace.
but there IS the other kind,
if we want to keep our freedom
we may have to fight again (God forbid)
but if we do fight
we must always fight to win
the fate of a loser is poor
no hope just misery and despair."

True, but does that mean they have to serve in the military in order to be a good leader?  There have been wonderful leaders who have never served in the military before.

I dont' think so, myself....leadership is a requirement I feel...so they could have another background as long as they had that experience

brokeplex:
All other factors being equal, I would rather have someone who served honorably in the military than someone who did not. The fact that the President of the US is the commander in chief is inescapable - all of the fantasies about the "dawning of the age of aquarius" not withstanding.

And of course if that President not only served honorably but also emerged from his or her service as a widely recognized hero, that is icing on the cake. 

Artiste:
At least in the USA, the President have to be born in the country !

In Canada, it could be born in another country; what do you think of that ?
