Did not serve but did get far enough in the draft process to be forced
to bend over (along with 50 other guys, in the same room at the same
time) and have several Army doctors look up his rectum. The most
Dadaist moment of his life.

Interesting, obviously-biased list - some notables missing:

Bush, Sr. - served, DFC
Reagan - served
Ford - served
Nixon - served (and for almost 25 years, through WWII until 1966)
LBJ - served
JFK - served
Eisenhower - served
Truman - served
FDR - no service
Lincoln - odd short service (something like 2-4 months in 30-day chunks)

Bob Dole - served


and of course, what would any topic be without:
Hitler - served
Stalin - served

HTH,
