I simply can't agree with the first sentence. Military experience as it helps a Presidents perspective has nothing to do with "command experience." Having been in the military in ANY position, gives the POTUS the knowledge of what it's like to be that guy(or today, gals also) and be so susceptible to the decisions of a POTUS as Commander in Chief.
As far as GW not showing up for the physical, you obviously don't know the whole story. His unit was thankfully getting rid of the 102's. This meant that the pilots were retraining in the replacement aircraft. He had a short amount of time left which made it in impractical to train, thus he was basically cut loose.
He did not at all thumb his nose at an order as was implied by the liberal media led by Dan Rathers proven faked letter and the ensuing fiction.
Again, I'm not a GW fan, but I do resent the liberal medias repeating these lies and engaging in such character assasination.
