Abraham Lincoln.
While Pres Lincoln did not participate in combat, he did volunteer as a company commander of militia forces that conducted operations. While they did not make contact, he put his money where his mouth was and served in direct combat forces.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Non-Vet FDR allowed the Communists to rule Poland, and allowed the repatriation of tens of thousands of anti-Communist soldiers to the USSR.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Remained stateside during WW1. I haven't read up on Eisenhower's performance but I suspect this REMF's battlefield performance is lacking.
Like I said, those who haven't been in the trenches typically don't know what they are talking about in war, or what they're doing before or after they've sent men out to the battle.
