Good question. I would say yes, so long as they do it without politicizing the war and so long as their service was not a premeditated act to bolster their campaigns. The latter determination can only be judged with certainty by the candidates themselves. It underscores the need for the military to sustain and improve rigorous coaching of its leaders regarding how to make ethical decisions and to screen and weed out those unable or unwilling to do so.
