Yes, Wilson was a Democrat. And so was Polk (Mexican-American War). So FDR, Truman, Johnson, Wilson, and Polk. That's 5. unless I missed someone...\n\nOh, and as for Republicans: Lincoln, McKinley, Eisenhower, Nixon, Bush 1 and Bush 2. So that's 6.\n\nEDIT: Kennedy never presided over wartime. There were conflicts in Cuba and Vietnam, but it really could not be called wartime prior to real engagement after the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964. Similarly, there were conflicts, even bombing, in Iraq during Clinton's administration, but we wouldn't call him a wartime president. So I'd still say it's 5 and 6.

I would suggest to you Mr. Alex B PHD that because my Masters degree has forced me to provide you with some of the answers to these mind boggling questions that haunt you from time to time i am once again obligated to place these words of wisdom upon you. Either one could run and be elected, and yet with only those two choices i think we might see a revolt within the Democratic party, Yes i do realize that you did not specify which political party they were connected to but, your question demands that they be Democrats. My best possible thinking has went into this answer and i believe the combination of the two would make an excellent choice for President and Vice president for the Democratic party!!!

Alot of info. you are wanting... Vietnam combat -yes 1965 president L.B.J. (Johnson), a democrat. Korean conflict (War) started under under Truman, a democrat (the first part of this question is unclear). Troops were pulled out of Korea in 1953 under Eisenhower. The Spanish-American war was actually the 19Th century, began in 1898 and ended about a year later. Intelligent questions deserve intelligent answers. deserving of points?

Compare news stories circa 1940, 1917 & 1861 and todays news articles on American wars from at least 3 separate newspapers. You will need to go to achives for most of these years.\n\nFind out the public support percentage\nGovernment expenditure on the war\nThe entertainment of the day\nPresidential speeches on the war\nAny austerity measures the public was part of\n& Foreign allies\n\nOne suggestion for you. Keep the topic current.

Still some around here. Do try and not be TOO stupid, what passed for moderates in the last election are just tools of the far left. The Dems trotted out psuedo-moderates to get the Socialist left into positions of leadership. Pelosi as Speaker and 3rd in line to the Presidency? COME ON, a real moderate victory there...and Murtha, Chair of the Armed Services Committee. I'm a retired Marine, and my son is currently an active duty Marine in Iraq. To think that this guy, who has broken faith with his former brothers in the Corps, will control the purse strings that provide the things that keep our troops out of body bags in Iraq (little things like body armor etc...) until we can get out of there gives me more than a moment of pause. Yeah, you go ahead and believe that tripe buddy, the moderates did not win a damn thing.

He wasn't the greatest President ever, but at least the economy as growing steadily and people had jobs (including the Prez himself - LMAO). Oh yeah, and I do believe we had a balanced budget once again, didn't we? ; )\n\nI'm no fan of the Democrats nor the Republicans, so I vote third party all the time. But things seemed to get done on his watch.

Just in the USA? Well then certain topics around these dates come to mind: 1992-2000, 1972-74, 1965-1975, 1960, 1944. Apart from the Nixon dates, that's all democrat work. I'm not American, btw.

Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge.  They just let problems snowball and ignored them.  They were NOT wise.\n\nLincoln and FDR presided over the greatest wars our country has ever seen (so far).  Were they UNwise?\n\nHistory willl evaluate whether there is a parallel between those listed above, on the one hand, and Clinton and Bush 43 on the other.

I could of swore USA WON TWO WORLD WARS....with Democrats in office.\n\nPerhaps you should of took a history class.\n\nPS--I'm a liberal.

Democrat (singular), to date I have only heard Charles Rangel propose this. I wouldn't worry because no one is actually going to support this. Liberals hate the military, so that leaves them out. Moderate Democrats are now and always have been opposed to drafts. Republicans have sponsored an all volunteer service for many years now. Write this off to more of Charlie's lunatic fringe mentality and stop worrying. Additionally thanks to you, your husband and your family for the sacrifices you are making to this great land of ours.

Democratic Presidents entering war:\nWar of 1812 under Madison\nMexican War under Polk\nFirst World War under Wilson\nSecond World War under Roosevelt\nKorean War under Truman\nVietnam War under Kennedy\n\nRepublican Presidents entering war:\nSpanish-American War under McKinley\nGulf War 1 under Bush (1)\nGulf War 2 under Bush (2)\n\nYou may also want to consider the Barbary Coast War under Jefferson (Democrat) and the American Civil War (not really entered into, but begins under Buchanin (Democrat) and escalates under Lincoln (Republican)\n\nNote:  The Vietnam War is actually difficult to define.  Advisers were sent under Eisenhower (Republican) but troops were not sent until Kennedy (Democrat)

I voted for him the first time, only because I was 19 and in the military and he promised a pay raise. The second election time I found my ass on the line in Bahgdad fighting for a war started for underlying interest. So I voted for Kerry, but you know what, Paul Wolfowitz said the military overseas vote wouldn't count due to security issues. Yet we blast our war strategies all over the media, can you see the irony in that?? I can sure as hell can.

well... as it often seems, both parties seem weak for candidates... I like Edwards, Obama and Warner, but to put them up there with FDR and JFK... that's a bit much...\n\nBut I don't see any Reagans around the corner for the Republicans either, so it could be a little messy...\n\nBut at the same time... I doubt anyone was really thinking FDR or JFK would go down as great presidents two years before they were elected either...\n\nEDIT: Mark Warner, Gov. of Virginia\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Warner
