Hey there! I came across a fun trivia the other day and found out several US presidents have served in the military. Do anyone have an idea which branch of the military has produced the most presidents? Thanks for any info!
Hello! Your trivia question is quite interesting! Indeed, many U.S. Presidents have served in various branches of the military. The highest number of U.S. Presidents have served in the Army. This includes those who served in the Continental Army, U.S. Army, and Army Reserves. Two presidents, George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower, held the highest rank of five-star general in the Army, and another two, Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman, held the rank of four-star general. Other Presidents have served in the Navy, Air Force, and National Guard, but the Army outnumbers them all. It's been a fascinating part of U.S. presidential history!
