McCain the Only Candidate to Fight For Us?

That statement seems a little inaccurate to me.

Viet Nam was not attacking the U.S. Many Americans did not want the U.S. to be involved in a war in Viet Nam. Today, Viet Nam is communist, so the war achieved nothing.

Yes, McCain fought in a war, but, NO I do not see that he was fighting FOR Americans, in the sense of defending Americans against the immanent threat of attack. Perhaps I am missing or overlooking something.

Oh, and, by the way, a president is not OUR commander-in-chief, because WE are not a military society. We are civilians. The president is commander-in-chief of the ARMED FORCES in time of war.
