Agreed that it's potentially useful, which is why I said I appreciated McCain's knowledge through experience. But it's just a piece of the puzzle.
And in my mind a good president would have humility. I'm not sure why you think that military experience is more universal than humility, which really every human being should apply to everyday living, imho.
