Starting with WWII era, "shot at" limited to military
situations
FDR No
Truman Sorta yes, but I will say No
Ike No ( strange but true )
JFK Yes ( but mostly rammed )
LBJ Yes ( but pretty much bogus )
Nixon No
Ford Yes ( in an impersonal way )
Carter No
Reagan No
GHW Bush Yes
Clinton No
GW Bush No
Analysis:
Overall; 4 yes, 8 no
Dems 2 yes, 4 no
Repubs 2 yes, 4 no
Presided over a significant war as president 3 yes 4 no
Didn't

Service academy graduates 0 yes 2 no
Army/AF vets 0 yes 4 no
Navy 4 yes 2 no
Conclusions: Damfino
Maybe there isn't a real pattern.
