LB Johnson served in the Navy under FDR, George HW Bush served in the Navy under FDR & Trueman. Many of the Presidents served in the military and took orders from the Presidents in office.
Democratic US Presidents with military service were Andrew Jackson (Army), James K. Polk (Tennessee state militia), Franklin Pierce (Army), James Buchanan (Army), Andrew Johnson (Army), Harry S. Truman (Army), John F. Kennedy (Navy), Lyndon B. Johnson (Navy), and Jimmy Carter (Navy).
John F. Kennedy served in the US Navy, not Army.
None of the US presidents served in the Marine Corps.
Presidents can only serve for 2 terms. 4 years are in a term.
To find the average number of years served by all US presidents up to 1997, divide the age of the nation in 1997 by the number of US presidents to 1997. This calculation will provide the average number of years served by each president.
