How Does He Know?

John McCain says he knows “how to win wars.” And, heck - I guess that would be a rather handy thing to know if you plan on fighting wars.
From The Trail:
“I know how to win wars. I know how to win wars,” McCain told the audience at a town hall in Albuquerque. “And if I’m elected President, I will turn around the war in Afghanistan, just as we have turned around the war in Iraq, with a comprehensive strategy for victory, I know how to do that.”
OK. I just want to know how he knows this. How did he learn how to win wars? I think it’s a good question.
Is it from his service in the Vietnam War? Because we didn’t win that one.

John McCain graduated fifth from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy in Annapolis–894th out of 899.
Although McCain was apparently failing Warfare 101 he excelled at Advanced Plane Crashing: he crashed five aircraft during his service.
Personally, I find McCain less confidence-inspiring than Michael Dukakis in a tank.
