"usual liberal disdain"?
Let's see....some well known "liberals"....

[ Jimmy not a "known?" Tsk. ]

There's president Jimmy Carter, who graduated from the US Naval Academy
and served in the Navy on submarines. He also won the Nobel Peace
Prize, for being instrumental in the only long-term peace agreement in
the modern Middle East (the Camp David accords).
I recall no Middle East Peace in modern times.

Nor I. Maybe it was for one weekend or something.

The military draft ended January 1973 under Nixon's watch.
Jimmy had no worries about being drafted after that.

However, Carter pardoned most Vietnam War draft evaders in
January 1977. Way too liberal an act for my taste.

Jimmy still didn't volunteer to serve then.

He didn't have to. He was President and Commander in Chief.
