on a tangential topic, why is military service so important to politicians? do they honestly believe that if you've fought for your country, it somehow makes you a better person? that because you've subjected yourself to the possibility of being killed and gay trysts, you have the right to rule the nation?
In the US, I would assume it's seen as an asset since the Pres is Commander in Chief, and perhaps people believe that you'd do a better job leading others if you've been in their position.
Presidents who've had military service are not trigger quick to enter into war. When they do, they do so with an understanding of the logistics and respect for military advisors. It's not necessary, since Clinton was very careful on which conflicts had U.S. participation; however, military service is not something to be disregarded and disrespected as if it does not contribute positively to a presidency.
i love to point out that thomas jefferson never did any military service, and i think he was a darned good president even if he could have been less racist.
