the President isn't qualified to run a war because he joined the guard and never saw combat? and yet, many of those who make this point (and i have heard a number of permutations of this same argument) want people to take their own opinions on the war seriously... though they wouldn't dream of putting themselves into military service.
disingenuous at best.
