And I take offense at the charge it's fear-mongering. If anything it's concern for my cousin who's in the Army, and all the men+women wearing the uniform who could potentially give their lives because somebody didn't explore all the options before deciding to commit troops.

McCain and Palin both have children currently serving in the military. So while you're concerned about your cousin, they're concerned about their own kids.

Additionally, while you may view military service as no big deal (hey, even the homeless have done it!), it seems pretty obvious to me that a guy who spent years as a POW would have a pretty good idea of the horrors of war. It doesn't mean, however, that the same guy will believe war is never necessary.
