Or they join out of obligation, or because they couldn't find any other type of work. I know most people join for those reasons.
That aside, I'd still go with someone who's held a political office more weight and consideration for a job as opposed to a person who served in the military. They'd probably understand how most politics work. Soldiers just do whatever their officers say.

If you think that military experience is irrelevant to the presidency, then you are too ignorant to be trusted with a vote.

I do feel it's irrelevant to base it solely on that, and I find this insulting. I feel that actually working in Washington and knowing how things work there should have more weight or actually holding a political office should hold more weight. That aside, on McCain's side, they keep going on and on about how he was a POW. How is his being a POW significant to being the leader of a country? I'm basing it solely on the issues, what each one wants to do for the country and consider which I feel would benefit it most, and imo, I feel that Obama would.
I'm not asking you to agree with my opinion, but you could at least respect it, like I did yours.
