Please forgive me - as a legitimately wounded veteran of the Vietnam War, I have a grudge against John Kerry. Thirty-five years later, I can't find a way to forgive or forget. How can John McCain call this man a friend?
That is one of the big deficiencies I see with McCain.
McCain, and numerous others, were incarcerated in miserable conditions in Vietnam while Kerry was spreading lies about their behavior while they were in country.
McCain seemed to reconcile with Kerry even though Kerry has NOT retracted any of the accusations he leveled.
I find that contemptible. It even puts McCain in the same league as the other Vietnam war accusers.
