Quotation of the Day for July 10, 2008


"Absolutely not. History shows that some of our greatest leaders have had little or no military experience. ... I have advised [a presidential candidate] that I'd be very careful about how much you talk about that, because you don't want it to sound self-serving."

- John McCain, 2008 U.S. Presidential candidate and veteran, answering the question "Do you think that military service inherently makes somebody better equipped to be commander-in-chief?" The 2004 presidential candidate he was talking about was John Kerry.
