In my opinion, requiring a democratically elected leader to have served in the forces takes a big step towards a military state, and is therefor a big no no.
If you stopped people who didn't want to serve from ever having the chance of being elected, you restrict the rights of voters to chose the type of man they want at the helm. You also lead the office towards a military approach whether you like it or not, and if that becomes fostered over time as doctrine, we may find ourselves a few presidents down the line with an america run under martial control, which would suck, as it were.
