I removed some references to military service. There are already two pages listing President's military service. A lot served in the military, as is mentioned at the top of the article. I think only those who could be considered career soldiers - like Eisenhower - should have soldier listed next to their names. For the others, you can always look at the other pages, List of United States Presidents by military service, List of United States Presidents by military rank, even List of unsuccessful major-party United States presidential candidates' military service. Same as the reason for not listing previous political offices here - there is already List of United States Presidents by political occupation, and most would have some kind of service listed next to their name. - Matthew238 00:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Seems fine by me. By that standard, B. Harrison, McKinley and TR also should not be identified as soldiers, so I removed them. NoSeptember 00:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
