There've been plenty of presidents who got close to danger in war, but that was before they became presidents. Off the top of my head

>George Washington nearly died in the French and Indian War
>James Monroe fought alongside Washington when he crossed the Delaware and can even be seen in one of the boats on the famous painting)
>Andrew Jackson fought in several wars and famously defeated the British with a ragtag band of hillbillies, pirates, and Indians
>William Henry Harrison defeated Tecumseh who was the Indian leader who posed the greatest threat to white people in the last 500 years
>Abraham Lincoln fought against Injuns on the frontlines
>Ulysses S. Grant saw combat in the Mexican-American war and had to do sick horseriding tricks to not get shot by Mexicans. Oh, and he led armies during the ACW
>Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, and William McKinley all fought in the American Civil War
>Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill with the Rough Riders
>Harry Truman memorized the eye chart so he could pass the eye exam to fight in WWI
>George HW Bush got shot down by the Japanese in WWII and narrowly avoided being captured by cannibalistic Japs (his crew were all captured and eaten alive)
