Not four star generals or anything but:

Kennedy was a naval officer and war hero. Johnson, Nixon, and Ford were also naval officers with service in WWII. Carter was a naval officer. The first Bush was at one time the youngest Naval Aviator in the U.S. Navy and flew combat missions in WWII. Junior Bush was a fighter pilot, albeit stateside the whole time.
