I wish Politicians, particularly the McCain camp, woudl quit using the "Im a Vet" speech...Can someone explain to me how that qualifies you for anything other then that which you already are"a former P.O.W."?

The simple fact of citizenship earns him the right to run for Senator. The people of his state decide on his qualifications. The simple fact that he chose to serve his country (in any capacity) deserves respect.
Service to your country seems to be a BIG deal to the people of the US as whether you can run the country. Both Clinton's and Bush's non-service has been a bone of contention on both sides of the fence.
Ps, Welcome to AWE..I hope you enjoy.
