I expect a certain level of kill-ability (the ability to kill, not be killed) in who I vote to be our nation’s commander in chief. The president’s main constitutional duty after all is to command the military, and it would be ignorant to choose a president on the basis of how unwilling he is to use the armed forces when necessary. It would be just as ignorant to choose a president who doesn’t have the experience and proper judgment to know when it’s crucial to use military force. Obama doesn’t have any military experience at all, and it’s very unlikely that he has the credentials (militarily, economically, and otherwise) to be the president (current Vegas odds are 26-1 against).
