This list is supposed to appeal to certain people, just as every "list" for every candidate is supposed to appeal to certain people. Make the candidates look more human. Appeal to the masses who admire things beyond a candidate's platform.

Three examples of lists that include interesting facts with other facts that some may not care about. None of them include military service, of course:
