Man. It's really not cool to go after people's war records.
McCain could have also been released early from captivity because of his father. He chose not to.
That showed both grace and courage. The man is a bonafide hero. And his war record should not be disparaged.
I didn't make anything up. Hero? maybe.. if the story is true about him refusing release without his fellow prisoners. Nothing he SHOULDN'T have done if he was the stand up guy y'all make him out to be.
As for Nam...it was stupid. It was a waste of Americans lives and treasure. It was Iraq on steroids. I do applaud the patriotism of wanting to support and fight for America when threatened. Veit Nam was no threat to the U S ..and anyone that thinks it was is a ******* moron. A lot of good people got suckered by a lot of criminals in government and the military industrial complex.
BUT THAT didn't make him more qualified to be prez. And allowing Palin on the ticket was an EXTREME case of bad judgement. It goes under the catagory of "what did you do lately" and that was all I needed to see.
