Let's see what you folks missed...
Navy combat pilot. Would be the first of those in the administration since HW.
Arizona would be a nice get electoral wise.

Why would this ever be an asset for the presidency? It's completely unrelated to the skills involved and doesn't demonstrate any particular merit of bravery or understanding the costs of war. I don't particularly want someone whose chosen role in warfare was comfortably dropping bombs on people they couldn't even see.
Didn't you see the movie Independency Day? Clearly it could be a huge asset for a US President.
Some people would say that when you are commander in chief it's good tha5 you have military experience. So far, JD Vance is the only person with such experience.
JD Vance was a "combat correspondent" in the Marine Corps, and separated after one tour as a Corporal (E4).
Kelly was a Navy Captain (O7).
One of these men was trained and entrusted to operate the space shuttle; the other, a digital camera.
GW left the military as a First Lieutenant (O2). Kelly retired as a Navy Captain, (O7).
If their careers were firearms, GW's would be a .22LR revolver; Kelly's would be a 20mm CIWS.
