I dont know a great deal about American history but, who was the last
president
_NOT_ involved in a military conflict?
Kind regards

Are you only counting major wars, or are you including all military actions
abroad?
Nixon ordered "Operation Kingpin", which was a POW rescue mission, deep in
Vietnam. It wasn't a war in itself, but it did involve invading Vietnam
briefly. (They also didn't find the POWs they were looking for, and came
home empty handed.)
Jimmy Carter had his failed Iranian hostage rescue mission. I can't
remember him actually _starting_ any military conflicts, and I don't think
you are counting defensive rescue missions anyway. So, my answer would be
Jimmy Carter -- unless you consider a defensive rescue mission "being
involved in a military conflict".
Now just answer one thing for me, how does all this affect photographers'
rights? ;-)
take care,
