  Quoted: As some of the leading presidential candidates trooped before the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Kansas City this week, there was one thing largely missing at the lectern -- veterans of foreign wars.

  that's really interesting that the 2008 election will be the first since WWII that neither party will have veterans running for office. While the immergence of civilian candidates in my opinion is positive and more reflective of the today's American population, part of me can't help but wonder if maybe someone with front-line, military leadership, would be better suited as the Commander in Chief during this time of war. I don't mean the kind of military experience of current President Bush, more along the lines of McCain, Truman, Eisenhower, etc.
