One of the primary motivations to have a civilian at the head of the Armed Forces is to insure that the military is used only when necessary rather than at the whim of professional soldiers.<BR/><BR/>Because Sarah Palin is the Governor of Alaska she is also Commander in Chief of the Alaskan National Guard and has executive power over that institution.<BR/><BR/>Should she have served in the National Guard prior to being elected to her current position?EAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649331234241764065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-72204454751268354382008-08-30T21:27:00.000-04:002008-08-30T21:27:00.000-04:00Chadwick,Why should the military experience be a p...Chadwick,<BR/><BR/>Why should the military experience be a pre-requisite? And how much?<BR/><BR/>How about someone who served for three years and never made it above an E-3? Is that enough experience to lead the troops to war?

(See Reason #1)<BR/><BR/>4- Biden is not qualified. (See reason #1)<BR/><BR/>Solution:<BR/>Qualified candidates running for the Presidency should only be for men who have served in the US Miltary.<BR/><BR/>chadwickchadwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757302930110281925noreply@blogger.com
