I fail to see the correlation between military experience and qualifications for public office. Joining the military is one of the most honorable things a person can do, but I don't think it necessarily qualifies them as a better candidate than someone else.

If Obama had served in the Marines, would that change anyone's opinion of him?

Leadership.
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Funny, I was going to say the exact same thing. The US Military is one of the best leadership training grounds there is.
