It is applicable, though, just a like a million other things in each candidate's history. Americans want to know what shapes their President's views: of America, of the world, of himself. They want to understand his judgment, something very difficult to gauge.
Thus, his POW status plays a role. It's relevant and fair.
PS. It's amusing to see you hide behind his supposed politicization of the story for your tasteless comments. As if you needed a reason.

By McCain's own account, his horseplay was directly responsible for crashing into power lines.
He was a fairly lousy pilot.
I guess you find that tasteless.
I agree with you. I want to understand McCain's judgment.....how can someone perform so poorly in the military have the requisite judgment to be POTUS?
