I don't understand why war/military record is such an vital issue in these elections. Would anyone want the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket to be President?
Different things are different motivators in different countries.

In Canada, a guy who puts God as far out in front as Bush does would be toast - Stockwell Day. A military record is interesting but not particularly relevant.

In the USA, I would say greater weight is placed on military service - definitely a plus - and having God somewhere on your platform is almost a necessity.
