Is Air National Guard Service better than NO service?

Liberals and democrats like to poke fun at George W Bush for "only" serving in the Air National Guard, while true heroes like John Kerry (but not John McCain) were righting in Vietnam. Okay. Fair enough.......

So why doesn't that rule apply to Barack Obama? If he's elected he will also command the United States military as our Commander In Chief! Can you imagine being a decorated General on the Joint Chiefs Of Staff having to salute a 46-year old former civil rights lawyer with NO military service?

So to avoid another violation notice I ask.........during a time of WAR, how much sense does it make to elect a man into office with no foreign policy experience and only 4 years of federal governemnt experience who's spent 2 of those years campaigning for the White House?

FYI: I am aware of John MCCain's military service to his country. But you won't hear liberals bringing it up! I guess being a Vietnam Vet only counts if you're John Kerry.

Yes! Just what is wrong, or dishonorable about the guard? All who serve in the Military in any capacity are honorable in my estimation!

Obama has No military to fall back on and is naive on foreign policy.

He is not only inexperienced, but I believe his loyalties are not with this country but in Kenya.

And, you failed to mention how the terrorists love him. Even though Obama has rejected the Hamas endorsement, doesn't that say a lot about not only who honors this man, but who, and what he honors?

If we do not look to his past for the clues to what he would present for our future, then we are not looking at the indicators right in front of us.

McCain in '08!

I served in the National Guard. I am a veteran. I placed myself in a position to be called if the need arose. So yes, those who serve theri country in any military service are better than those who choose not to serve in any military way. All the rest (Peace Corp, and such are not up to the same standards). Volunteering to serve in the military in any capacity tells the real tale of a person's sense of duty and patriotism. Of course, there are those wh are not qualified or deserve the honor of serving...like Obama.

I think there have only been a handful of presidents who ever served in the military. Of those who served in the military and rose to a high rank, they proved to be poor presidents. U.S. Grant, the civil war hero, is one of the worst president to ever serve the office. Andrew Jackson was also a poor choice for president.
MIlitary service doesn't always equate to presidential leadership ability.

Less than 20% of the population ever serves in any catagory,any service tops NO service.
At least some effort is made and some danger faced.

In Obama's case,if he were a 50 year vet,with 3 wars behind him and a chest full of combat awards,he'd still be a bad choice.
The man is a DAMNED SOCIALIST.
