Two of our nation’s greatest wartime leaders, Lincoln and FDR, had no military experience prior to becoming president. In fact some our nation’s worst leaders had illustrious military careers. So this notion that military experience breeds a great president is crazy.
Experience, while helpful is not necessary. Twenty five years in congress does not make someone ready to be president. Lincoln, had only two years experience in the house and a failed senate run before he became president. Experience is not what matters, what matters is judgement.
While I admire McCain’s service I do not think it makes him any more qualified to be President of the United States of America.
