It's funny that in many of these the actual military combat veteran is beaten by someone who wasn't (1964, 1972, 1996, 2000, 2004).

In 2004, there was an ad claiming that the veteran was a fake war hero.

Being the incumbent President and Commander-in-chief gives you a lot of opportunity to look macho. You had the photo of Obama during the Bin Laden Raid, and Dubya with his mission accomplished speech on a aircraft carrier.
