I wondered
if we have had any other recent ( last 75 years or so )
presidents or major contenders who have killed somebody in a
personal and particular way.


Henry Kissinger's name was bandied about as a possible presidential candidate
at one time (and as with Arnold Swartzenegger, his fans hoped a
constitutional amendment would make it possible). During WW2, he served as
a rifleman with the 84th Infantry Division and fought at the Battle of the
Bulge, where he had plenty of opportunities to be shot at and shoot back.
Seeing that he was Jewish and his family fled Germany in 1938, he took
killing Nazis personally.

I thought that he was in Military Government, there being a story of him
becoming "military mayor" of the town his family was from.

I extracted the following from one of his biographies that Google pointed me at:

"From 1943 to 1946 Dr. Kissinger served in the U.S. Army Counter-Intelligence
Corps and from 1946 to 1949 was a captain in the Military Intelligence Reserve."
