Clearly Beers was attacking qualifications, not service. I agree it was weak, but an attack on McCain's service it was not!
Candy, if some guy spent the last 25 years isolated in a POW camp completly cut off from American culture, then he just got out of his POW camp and returned to the United States and somehow got his party's nomination for president... Would pointing out that he lacked the qualifications to be president because of that be an attack on the guys service?
Precious... if you are suggesting that BECAUSE he was a POW that he is not qualified, then YES, you are attacking his service. You are saying that he could not have gained the leadership skills BECAUSE he was POW. You are basing your judgement (in your example) on the fact that he was a POW.
That is no different than that POW coming back and saying... I was a POW and thus should be President.
That is idiotic.
McCain touts his service, no question. But he does not and has not ever made the claim that because he was a POW he is somehow MORE qualified to be President.
