Being in a war doesn't give you 'military' experience in the degree of commanding an army, so I'm not sure how McCain is any more qualified for it than Obama.

He was a pilot, he got shot down, he became a PoW.

He didn't march our troops into Vietnam and conquer most of the free world or anything.
I know what your getting at.

How could anyone be a great commander if they got shot down and taken prisoner?

Thats ridiculous.

McCain has more love for this country than Obama ever will. The military taught McCain discipline and more skills than you can shake a stick at. McCain knows first hand what it is like to be a soldier. He knows what they need. Being a soldier he was taught military strategy.

McCain is so more qualified to lead the military than Obama. The closest thing he's ever gotten to being a commander is playing with army men and G.I. Joe.
