THe presumptive rep nominees is a war hero
4 years ago the dem nominee was a hero (lost)
96 had Dole, hero, lost.
92 had bush, hero, lost (but did win in 88).

Many of our leaders have served. But we get who we vote for, and I believe the overwhelming largest active voting group in the US is your generation (mine is too lazy).

Please note, Harry is a member of the royal family, they are for show, no real power, no decision making authority, no responsibility to the electorate. So how are they leaders?
