Who was the last President to serve in the military and see actual combat?

Eisenhower.

Wrong on at least three counts.

-Eisenhower never was engaged in actual combat - by the time a war came around, he was already one of the US' highest ranking generals.
-At least two of his successors did see combat in WWII.

Eisenhower was only brigadier general (one star) when the WWII (the American involvement) started and had been promoted to that rank less than three months before.

Eisenhower was only brigadier general (one star) when the WWII (the American involvement) started and had been promoted to that rank less than three months before.

But he had it, right? (Okay, so yeah, you might have seen actual combat with that rank in some branches of the army in WWII. Eisenhower didn't, though.)

Yes, the answer was GHW Bush.

Eisenhower was a trainer during WWI and didn't see combat during either war.

I just wanted to point out that Eisenhower was not a senior general at the start of WWII; he actually started 1941 at a Lieutenant Colonel.
