Commander in Chief B.S.

In the current election cycle, polls show many voters remain sceptical of Barack Obama's abilities to be a good commander-in-chief, while a much larger number say McCain would be a good commander.

History indicates that the "a vet will be a good president" mentality is not smart.

Being a "vet" (I think this term is wrongly applied here) no more helped Bush be a commander in chief than it helped Grant.

Not being a vet is no more a liability to Obama than it was to FDR.

America needs to see past the Fox News flag waiving and think. THINK.

Al Jazeera has a good piece here.
