The answer to your question is quite simple.
Military service has little to do with it;
therefore neither looks more presidential based on that factor alone.

In fact, John Kerry himself (or at least the John Kerry of 1992, supporting a
President who did not serve at all)
didn't think that military service or re-opening of the
Vietnam wounds served any legitimate purpose:

Do you disagree with Kerry's sentiments expressed in 1992?
Or do you disagree with the approach taken by the DNC machine and
Kerry himself re: Vietnam and military service in this political season?

It sounds like you think that military service is the defining factor. I
imagine that Dean and Edwards supporters
didn't share your view, if that is your view.

Do you think that John Kerry would look "more presidential" than a female opponent because he served for 4 months in Vietnam whereas she did not?

Sounds like you do.

If that's not your position, then I'm curious as to the point of your questions. If there is one.
