    Jfk was al not a military leader in the military, he was a serviceman in a minor role. Eisenhower was a literal general and was in leadership roles from 1918 to 1945ish iirc. ≠ jfk had a military understanding whereas Eisenhower had military leadership experience which is why I phrased it the way I did.

      Okay I see now what you meant. However, what you said was “last military leader with military experience”. JFK was commander in chief as the president (I.e., military leader) and was in the military (I.e., military experience).
