MODS: I ask you that you close this thread. Not because I want to have the last statement, but because I know it's going to get out of hand. If not close it at least keep an eye on it.
That would only enforce the feeling that we do not let you have debates. It's doing well so far, and it will be left. Afterall, right now, no rules are being broken.
IMO fighting in the armed forces is not any indication as to how good you would be at leading a country
I think so too, but it seems like every election I can remember that's played a roll. This election it's McCain that served and fought, last time around it was Al Gore bragging about how he got three purple hearts in Vietnam. Maybe they are trying to play to the veterans with that, but it doesn't work too well with a fair amount of civilians.
