Reply #55: And that's McCain's argument too.

It's invalid. There's a lot more to the issue than whether someone was a Veitnam vet. The mere claim (verifiable) that one is a Vietnam Vet doesn't give a sufficient basis for upholding an assertion that someone else's description of this or that period of history is full of shit. It doesn't give McCain such credentials in a debate with Obama, and it doesn't give you such credentials in a debate with me.
