Kerry's Silver Star and Bronze Star looked pretty good compared to Dubya's abandonment of his TNG commitment. Nobody argued that 12 months in the Vietnam war made him ready to make all military decisions.
McCain has some military experience, and that's good. I don't care about his personal life, scummy associates, etc. I do care about his flip-flops and his selling out to the RNC to get this candidacy. But the bottom line is, it's his temperament that makes him unsuited to any national office.
