^^ I don't see it as a requirement, but I strongly disagree with the above poster's notion that it makes no difference whatsoever. The way a man reacts under the pressures of combat (or torture, since we are using McCain as an example as well) says a lot about a man's character and courage. Two traits that go nicely into the "pro" column (but once again, NOT into the "required" column).
