He wasn't actually in the military all that long. General Wesley Clarke pointed this out when he said

He comes from a prominent military family, and gratuated from the United States Naval Acadomy at Anapolis. John McCain has also been in the senate for over 22 years, and has made a name for himself crossing party lines to get things done. Arguably most importantly, McCain IMO, is more willing to use force when necassary than is Obama to protect our country.

Compare McCains experience and accomplishments to Barracks, or lack there of. Obama has absolutly no military experience, has only been in real politics for 3 years (2 of which were spent campaigning for POTUS), and has implied an unwillingness to use force to secure national security. Agree or disagree, I think its pretty clear why the majority of Americans would feel safer with MccCain as POTUS.

Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president he’ll take on, and I quote, 'the old boys’ network in Washington.' I’m not making this up. This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008
