There are times when military leadership does not transfer into any other arena. When dealing with other politicians it is not an asset.

Say what ??????????????
well that’s a slap in the face to all the veterans in FR...
As well as McCain himself...
We’re talking about the leader of the free world ....
the POTUS and Commander-in-Chief ....
Military training is NOT AN ASSET ????
It does not transfer to other areas ???
Is that statement intended to cover the butt of draft dodger Romney or something ???

No it's not. I spent 27 years in the military. I also have 25 years in civilian government. They do not match well when politicians and their sycophants are also in the mix. I've been there with politicians and they thumb there nose at military bearing and training.
I'm not talking CINC, I'm talking President. There is a difference. This office has many hats, one is diplomat which none of those running possess the skills for.
McCain is the best qualified for those that are in the mix because of the necessity of supporting the military and understanding the military situation in the world today.
Please, don't assume you know what I'm saying. Ask specific questions and do not ever accuse me of offending or not caring for the military. I consider that remark of yours highly offensive to me. You assume a lot without knowing squat!

McCain left the Navy in 1981. His training would be with him till he dies if he internalized it like many military veteran do. In 1982 he began his life as a politician in the House of Representatives and then the Senate.
The world of the military and the world of politics are light years apart. His military training didn't teach him to compromise on issues and reach across the aisle to Democrats. That my friend is politics.
Barry Goldwater didn't change until after his retirement. McCain learned early in his political career.
As CINC, McCain has the training no others do. But politics is management of a different style.
