I don't see what the big dispute is about.

Very much in the ballpark shiner!

it's not that I don't 'like' McCain.

It's that he is the least likey person I would vote for because what I would like to see done and what he has planned don't mesh.

HOWEVER...if he is to be the next POTUS, we need to worry less about is military record and more about his senatorial one.

haha, I actually misspoke and you may be more reluctant to agree with me...

I meant to say "less biased people still find it..."

I have no reason to try and prove you wrong.


Your opinion is that military experience doesn't matter. Ok. That's your opinion.

Your opinion is that if we weren't at war, military experience wouldn't be as important to some as it is. Ok. But we are at war. Moot point.

Your opinion is that "most" repubs don't want otherwise. The numbers say different.

What do you want to be proven wrong on?

I had a Vietnam vet teacher in high school who would have relapses like he was in combat. My fav teacher of all time, though, and extremely challenging.

What if McCain does a State of the Union and jumps on the podium because he's escaping capture?

Kidding.

So did I. You didn't dare complain in his class, or he'd launch into his stories of having to sleep on the hillsides in the jungle, where they'd have to tie themselves to trees to keep themselves from rolling down the hill at night. "THAT'S SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!" he'd yell.

John -

Once again, your post provides no substance beyond a citation. What's your point?

Considering that the overwhelming majority of Presidents have had some sort of military background (the fact that all were during war time is selection bias; the overwhelming majority of ALL military personnel served during those times, and were discharged without becoming "career") should be enough to end your insanely off-topic aside.

Pacifism is fine; anti-war stances are certainly fine. Interjecting that here seems . . . odd.
