not many have since JFK...
Sure, if you don't count Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Bush Sr.
To my mind, Moore makes an important point on one count, and that's that war shouldn't be something that "other people" fight. One congressman (Tim Johnson of South Dakota) has a kid that's an enlisted man. That's fucked up. Check out the war records not of Eisenhower but his kids, his sons-in-law, etc., to see how much this country has changed from what it used to be. That's not just Bush, but Clinton too (Maddy Albright once yelled at Colin Powell saying "What good is this awesome military if we never use it?")
