John McCain isn't POTUS yet so let's not jump the gun...

Enough presidents however have seen combat.

Okay...is this your way of saying that McCain's military experience is unique as far as most presidential candidates and POTUS are concerned?

"....has one."

Military Record ...not POW.

As for McCain....

Yes and no...

Unique in that (should he become POTUS) he would be the only pres that served in Vietnam that was a POW

And no because of what I stated earlier.

As opposed to "unique" because he'll be the only POTUS who became a Vietnamese opera singer soon after capture?

ETA: I know that you said that a lot of POTUS have military service. I'm saying that McCain's service is still unique and that's one of the things that sets him apart.
