Bush Jr was born '46. Obama (literally the next president) was born in '61. Not much of a pattern there

What year was the president born in for the past decade
Look up, Obama is the only exception.
Clinton, Bush 43, and Trump were all born within a 2 month period in 1946.

JFK, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush 41 all served in fairly junior roles in WW2, even if Reagan just made training films and so on. LBJ pretended to serve in the same war. (He went out on one bombing mission as some kind of observer and was awarded a Silver Star, after which he stopped bothering the military and went back to his real career.)

We really need some kind of interstellar war right now so that next presidents can serve in some junior roles.
