Has *any* president ever *not* donned a flight jacket when touring an aircraft carrier?

I must have missed out on his stellar military career. And his NASA stint:

I'm tired of the media reporting Twitter comments as "news". File this under the obits.

The valued tidbit is the Trumpism of avoiding service yet shit talking those who served.

Fuck he coulda done a Shrubbery and purchased the time-honored "ceremonial billet"...

Trump is Commander in Chief, and deserves to dress the part.  I hate his fucking guts but I'm not going to bitch about him playing dress up.  How many Presidents have we had that actually deserved any uniform?  A dozen, maybe?  Mostly in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World Wars I&II, and nobody post WWII.

If you're referring to Trump's comments on McStain, I'd side with el Presidente.

McStain is a shabbos-goy warmonger.  He NEVER would have entered or graduated the Academy, much less been allowed anywhere near an aircraft, if it weren't for dad & gramps.   
Been around enough flyboys to speculate he was most likely a crappy pilot, as well.  Whether his big-ego-ineptitude played a significant role in the (many) aerospace vehicles he yarded out ---
especially the one landing him in the Hilton, or not, would again, be speculative. Let's just say a series of unfortunate events landed him a U.S. Senate seat. 

It was "ordained" that he "serve". Not so much with the rest of us. Big difference.   
Like they say:  You salute the rank, not the dirtbag wearing it.

Truman was a WWI doughboy. Nixon was a LT JG during WWII, Carter was also a naval officer and Ronnie Raygun mistook Warner's backlot for Normandy.

Don't forget Eisenhower and Kennedy.  You don't have to have a C.A.R. or even served, however you shouldn't have dodged and then started talking shit.
