I first saw the names here. Note that that article is 2 years old and says one of the officers I mentioned is only slated to go to Iraq in the future; look him or his father up and you’ll see that he’s gone since.
I strongly oppose the notion that some kind of personal connection to the war grants legitimacy to discuss the war effort, though. The current President, the last one, FDR, and Lincoln were each named C-in-C, and of those four Lincoln had the most extensive service record with Bush a close second. None of them were ever in a firefight, and they all ran against and defeated people who were. Nonetheless, I think history will look favorably on the military campaigns overseen by three of them.
