They're the ones on the front lines risking death and not knowing if the war is going to last another year or decades.

As for policies beyond the war and net neutrality, I think McCain is a bit more sound (namely on domestic economy policy) but those are two big issues. McCain's attacks on Obama's international policies are a red herring. We've used diplomacy with hostile nations all the time such as North Korea. And coming off the heels of Bush isn't going to play in his favor. McCain doesn't have anywhere near the charisma as Obama who is like a 'rockstar' in politics. In an age when celebrities are worshipped like Gods, that could be enough put Obama on top.

But I can't make any predictions. I think it will be close.
