Because it's irrelevant to his policies, and should be regarded as such. This theory that politicians should be veterans (or Christians, or married) should be rejected outright. The attention should primarily be on the issues. It's sort of like when a person criticizes other nations' policies (such as Sharia Law and human rights in the Islamic World). Yes, we should do that to an extent, but the focus should really be on us and what we're doing. People should primarily focus on their own abusive governments, not on how much of a Rambo a particular candidate has been or how wicked some other country is.
