Fair enough.

I disagree, obviously. There is also the question of whether the 'military' (which is such an ambiguous term, in many ways) is without question in favor of McCain, and would thus work in specific action to support him. While 'the military' is probably more likely to support McCain, the individuals who were responsible for promoting this deserving woman may or may not be pro-McCain. Again, I think it far more plausible that the political move had nothing to do with him, if it was indeed a political move at all. I think it is fair to surmise that 'the military' can do things for its own purpose without the need to turn it to presidential politics. But, I think I'm repeating myself now.
