Meaningless as a qualification except for assholes like FlaJim, whose
career highlight was mopping out heads while he was in the Navy.
Why do you retards think military service is any sort of significant
qualification for POTUS?

It may not be a significant qualification for POTUS but it certainly
adds to anyone's experience in whatever goals or objectives they set out
to achieve in life.

One thing that is worth mentioning (I think) is the attitudes of many
young people today who have been brought up by and/or influenced by the
entitlement obsessed "Gen Y" population. Public school teachers I've
talked to see it everyday. Military service certainly dispels any
preoccupation with entitlements and what is thought is "owed" and
replaced with a concept of self-reliance and teamwork.

That sort of depends on how you define "entitlement," doesn't it?

And there are many employment situations that provide an individual with
a concept of self-reliance and teamwork.

I'm not saying military service is a waste of time...I'm just saying
that it is not any sort of significant qualification for being POTUS.

Since you brought it up I suppose you can enumerate the chosen one's
significant qualifications prior to and since becoming Prez.

"Hate" is pretty much a right-wing term these days. I don't "hate"
military service. I simply don't believe it is a significant requirement
for a POTUS. Oh, and the military teaches "team think," not to think for
themselves.

Not the army that I was in, far from it. You are trained to react
instantly with no thought at all.

I don't think Harry has any idea of how the military of the USA is
trained or how it differs from his generalized assumptions. He seems to
assume that those in the military are just mindless lemmings following
predefined standard rules, regulations and general orders. Nothing could
be further from the truth.

The US military is unique in the emphasis on education and training that
even the lowest ranking personal receive. In addition to specific
training in specialized fields, creativity in problem solving, thinking
on one's feet in real time and generating resourceful and creative
responses to threats or problems is encouraged and nurtured. Very few
of other military organizations on the planet receive the amount of
training US military personnel receive.

Another unique aspect of the military is that it produces leaders.
Military personnel are expected to continue studies in both their
specialized field and also in general military leadership. They are
expected to take tests and advance in rank. Those who don't make the
grade or apply themselves to advancement are not recommended to stay in
the military and are discharged after their contractual obligation has
been met. The military does not keep people who have become
"comfortable" with their pay grade or responsibilities.
