Maybe so, Zeta, but isn't there a heck of a lot of truth in that statement? What is it about getting shot down in a plane and being tortured gives someone experience to be President? I'd say being Governor of a US State or commanding a large fleet during wartime would give you more Executive experience. Americans get all goo-goo eyed at our soldiers, but we forget that we are not a country ruled by our military. Our Founding Fathers specifically put civilians in charge by making the President the Commander in Chief, so that we don't get ruled by military thugs. Why are we so quick to let the military rule us when that is not the experience we need in the White House at this time? Obama will have the Joint Chiefs of Staff of all of our Armed Forces advising him on military matters. He won't need to be an army expert himself. What he needs to be is a good Executive.
