By Christopher Peleo-Lazar May 24, 2012 | 9:35 a.m. This year's presidential election between President Obama and Mitt Romney will be the first time since 1944, when President Roosevelt defeated Republican Thomas Dewey for a fourth term, that neither major-party candidate on the ballot served in the military.
