Why aren't non-Veterans upset about this McCain quote?

McCain fired back, saying, back "I will not accept from Sen. Obama, who did not feel it was his responsibility to serve our country in uniform, any lectures on my regard for those who did."

To me, McCain is being condescending and insulting to those people who chose not to serve. Not serving shouldn't be a strike against anyone and McCain acts as it is. I'm a vet and I've never looked down on anyone for not joining the military.
