Pert-near. 105 woulda been, definitely. He could still answer complex math questions, so we didn't panic.
And we're getting to oversleep like crazy

i find it kind of amusing and scary at the same time, that the american public thinks that anyone who wants to be president must have been in the military.

the only other countries that think like that is israel and the arab countries.

you wont find a country in europe that thinks being in the military is a "plus" in any way.
we dont want soldiers running our countries. we want more civilized people doing that... at least since world war 2...

oh well... flame on...

Of course we should have soldiers or sailors or marines or airmen or coast guardsmen running our country. They are the one risking their lives to protect it. It's a moral issue. Anyone who has never served in uniform has no moral legitimacy to order others into combat.

By the way, here are some European countries with mandatory military service:

* Albania
* Finland
* Germany
* Greece
* Moldova
* Switzerland

So you are obviously wrong OddballE8. Many Europeans do believe being in the military is a "plus"...and beyond (they believe it's essential to citizenship).

well we have mandatory military service in sweden too... but far from everyone does it...
what you have to realise is that these countries armies are far to small to accomodate every citizen of military age (usually 18) so there is a screening process... alot of people dont actually do the military service.

oh and just because there is a mandatory military service it doesnt mean that the citizens think its a "plus" or essential to citizenship.

its a strategic decision made by the government and military to ensure that every ablebodied man in the country is able to take up arms against invaders (effectively making the entire country one huge army... in theory at least) thus dissuading potential agressors from actually invading.

however, in no way does that reflect the citizens views on the military... look at germany... it has a very negative view on the military in general (no wonder, considering) despite mandatory military service.

finland is about the same as sweden when it comes to the view of military service... its just something you do for a while when youre 18... then you get a job... its like your last chance to mess about a bit (oh we do loads of crazy shit when were in the army)

naah... i doubt that any of those countries consider it a "plus" for government leaders to have been in the army.
(and i know people from greece, germany, albania and finland, and none of them think that way)

naah... we dont need people willing to kill others to make their point... we need people willing to sit down and discuss things and come to a peaceful sollution...

and finally, if mandatory military service is such a good indicator of if a country thinks military duty is a "plus" why doesnt the US have it?
