... this candidate for leader of the 'free' world should be running for, oh, maybe chief of staff in the military. Economics, technology, foreign affairs - they are all over his head. He will merely listen to whatever lobbyist gets his ear.
On military matters - maybe McCain has a claim to some role in the military. But certainly not except under civilian control - given his bad temper. As president, he will allow the military to run rampant. Run society. Run purchasing. It will be further militarization of the U.S. He will even believe them when they say their bombing is 'surgical' because of the swell technology they use!
