Should it be required that any person whosoever desires to serve in government must first complete a term in the armed forces? If no, why and if so how come?

No, not is today's society. We are not fighting global wars with large armed forces such as WWI and WWII. Today's wars require fewer troops and service is voluntary. There is no draft, so military service is not as common.

No, but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for all eighteen year olds to join for two years, right out of high school. Those two years of military service would instill some positive traits into many young people during one of the most crucial periods of a young person's life. When they finished serving they would have a better rounded outlook on life instead of one sitting on the couch playing video games. If we did that, future generations wouldn't have this issue to beat to death. Military service is not mandatory for a presidential candidate in my opinion.

No, but candidates especially at the state level should come from a related job and not just some CEO

No. We have had many good presidents with no military experience & many bad 1's who did.
