No vets on the presidential tickets for the first time since FDR ran against Hoover

John Wilkens points out something I hadn't
realized: "It's the first time in 80 years that there
are no veterans on either major-party ticket for the White House. The last time
it happened, in 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover."

And even then, FDR had served as assistant Navy secretary, leading
him to identify with that service even years later. I recall reading somewhere
that he used to tease George Marshall by referring to the Navy as "us" and the
Army as "them."
