While I will say that it is desireable for the Commander-in-Chief to have some experience in the military, I will also say that I make that statement from the perspective of one who has served. Do I feel that it should be a prerequisite? Absolutely not. Contradictory? No. Here's why. The POTUS has to make decisions that affect every one of us...every day. Some relative to the armed forces...most not. Should the President also be required to have a background in education or environmental science? Of course not. The concept, in itself, is not feasible.
