Military service as a proposed test for presidential ship names

Should only presidents with military service be eligible to have warships named after them?

The objection raised is that the proposed rule could turn prior military service into a status requirement associated with civilian office.

A viewer proposes excluding presidents who did not serve in the armed forces from receiving a warship name. The objection raised is that military service is not a qualification for the presidency. Linking a carrier name to that service could create a separate status distinction among holders of civilian office. The discussion also raises the concern that politically ambitious people might treat service as a requirement to complete for a later honour. The exchange concerns the proposed naming criterion and its possible incentives.
