Was Barack Obama an officer

Answer 1

Although the president is called the "Commander in Chief" of the military, that does not mean he is in the army, navy, or any other one of the armed forces. In President Obama's case, he was too young to serve in the Vietnam War, and by the time he was old enough, that war was over and there was no longer a military draft; so he did not join the military and instead focused on his education. Thus, he has never been a military officer.
