The fact that the President is also Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces means that Military experience (or lack thereof) is something relevent to consider when making a Presidential vote.

Not really....

Let's see...Clinton and Reagan really didn't have any military experience, for that matter, neither did FDR...

Bush's military record is negligible...

yet, they made it in office and all of the above mentioned had 2 terms.

That doesn't mean military experience isn't a relevant thing to consider. At all.

the point is, let's not parade it around like it's the most important thing you need to become POTUS.
If that is a requirement then a lot of people need not run for office!
