"I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be President," retired General Wesley Clark said of Senator John McCain's 5 years as a POW in Viet Nam.
Founding Father John Adams would be puzzled by Clark's comments. He understood the supreme importance of electing a commander in chief with battlefield experience. That is why he nominated George Washington for the job in 1775 and he did so at the risk of friendship with his less experienced buddy, Col. John Hancock.
