Graduate of the the Naval Academy, Aviator in the Navy and continued military service until 1981, a year before he was elected to congress.

He comes from a military family. Born on a military base. Grew up in the military culture. His direct ancestors have fought in every war the U.S. has entered into, including his father as a commanding officer in Vietnam.

Ranking member and former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Cmmte.

In sum, McCain has spent his entire life in and around the military. His family life, education, career, and political career have all been tied to the military.
