You're hedging. A president not committed to the defense and welfare of their country versus a president who IS committed is an obvious choice to make in my book.

For myself, I wouldn't question a "prior military service" candidate's committment to the country more or less than someone who had not served militarily. Personally, I don't add any "weight" to it.
Well what do you care how we Americans weight our presidential qualifications anyways? I mean didn't you say you were intending to leave this country soon for sunny Canada or do i have you mixed up with Stealth Hunter?
