HF President's War Service Question

[rbortega]

Does anybody think that a depiction of any part of the Civil War service of future U.S. Presidents Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, or William McKinley would make a good movie?

Not particularly. Of the 4 presidents mentioned, possibly only James Garfield had an interesting role being involved in the controversy over Rosecrans' actions and conduct at and after the battle of Chickamauga. While Hayes, Garfield, and Harrison attained general grade rank at some point (brevet or otherwise), McKinley's highest rank was major. Perhaps the other point of interest is that Hayes and McKinley both served in the 23rd Ohio Infantry. Maybe a movie about that outfit?

I'd like to see something like that for any of them. I first thought maybe through flashbacks but linear would still work I think
