"For those who have fought under the flag of this nation -- for the young veterans I meet when I visit Walter Reed; for those like John McCain who have endured physical torment in service to our country -- no further proof of such sacrifice is necessary," said Obama. "And let me also add that no one should ever devalue that service, especially for the sake of a political campaign, and that goes for supporters on both sides."

Rand Beers, an Obama supporter who served as Sen. John Kerry's, D-Mass., top national security adviser during his 2004 presidential run, said that because McCain was in an unfortunate state of "isolation" during much of the Vietnam War, he missed the domestic turmoil which took place in the United States and his national security experience is "sadly limited" as a result.
