"The Constitution of the United States gives no authority to the Congress of the United States to set lengths of tour or lengths of duty in the military......."
Senator John McCain
The Congress shall have power: "To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces."
Article 1 section 8 of the United States Constitution
How can anyone support a Presidential candidate that has proven one of two things:
1) He is a liar.
2) He has never bothered to read the United States Constitution that he has sworn to uphold and defend.

Pfo are you stupid? I just quoted the relevant article of the Constitution and gave you a reference site for the Constitution, so that you could read it for yourself. You're an absolute idiot.

Apparently "Top Contributor" only means that a person is spending too much time going back and giving their own answers "Best Answer".

Umm, both of McCain's assertions are correct. YOU need to read the constitution. If I'm wrong, email me and show me where in the constitution it says otherwise, I'm dying to hear it.

McCain is the only one in the GOP who has real gonads. Although I'm betting Giuliani will get the nomination.

McCain is desperate and grasping at straws. He will say anything that he thinks will get him support from the republican "base".
