again, look at the folks I mentioned a while back...nearly nil military experience but ALL managed more than 1 term in office...so why are we making a big deal about McCain's experience? If we are to go by that then considering the 2 term presidents we have had, odds will say that McCain lasting thru more than one term is small at best!

Well, let's see, maybe because we're at war right now, and probably still will be when the next President takes office.

With the exception of FDR and Bush...we weren't at war when most of those 2 term presidents were in office (unless you count the Cold War and Reagan, otherwise there was no actual combat.) so what exactly are you driving at?

(Toss Nixon in for Vietnam...but he had military experience and not a part of who I mentioned)
