The only president who was in uniform during both World Wars was Eisenhower. But Eisenhower did not get overseas in the First World War; he spent most of the war training troops at Camp Colt, Pennsylvania, near Gettysburg. Eisenhower feared that his career as a professional army officer was irreparably harmed by this failure to get into combat in WWI. Harry Truman was the only WWI combat vet ever to become president. During WWII he was a Senator from Missouri, Vice President, and Commander in Chief when he succeeded to the presidency after Franklin Roosevelt died only a few weeks before final victory. Franklin Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy during WWI, and Commander in Chief as president during all of US involvement in WWII until his death.

How would you compair Dwight D. Eisenhower to John McCain?
The correct spelling is "compare," by the way. The easiest answer is that both men are both war heroes, albeit in slightly different ways. Dwight D. Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of all Allied forces in Europe during World War II. He planned and supervised the successful invasions of France and Germany in 1944-1945. He went on to become the first Supreme Commander of NATO in 1951. In 1953, D.D.E. was elected President of the United States of America and served for two terms. John McCain fought in the Vietnam war as a fighter pilot for the U.S. Navy. His plane took damage and was forced down over Vietnam, where McCain was captured as a Prisoner of War and imprisoned and tortured for over five years. John McCain was elected to Congress in 1982 and to the U.S. Senate in 1986, where he still serves today. This year, he is the Republican party's nominee to the Presidency. So as a shorter answer, both men served in the U.S. Military and in the U.S. government.
