He's getting desperate. The POW story is playing well for McCain. The world is full of men who say "I thought about joining..." I meet at least one every time I wear my uniform in downtown America. I had to sign up for Selective Service [a means of conscription in case of war] when I graduated from high school.

So big whoop. So did every other 18 year old.

We had a of honorable young men staring down the communist hordes at Fulda and Korea. He could have joined them.

Of course he could have joined the reserves, just in case the balloon ever went up, much like it did during Desert Storm.

The aspiration was not mentioned in either of his two volumes of memoirs.

Such a bald faced lie. He wanted to join, but didn't because there was no more Vietnam War to fight?????

This fraud was about 14 when Nixon pulled out of Vietnam. He's trying to paint himself as some kind of patriot who would only be willing to join the service if there were a major conflict going on. Vomit.

This guy is beyond desperate. He is in full panic mode. And his inability to take a stand (witnessed by his voting "present" 130 times in the Illinois Senate) is simply something that we, as Americans, cannot afford in a Commander in Chief. Even if Obama were right on all the issues, he is not fit to be the President, since he would only be right for all the wrong reasons. His sole purpose in life is to feed his own ego. He will say anything to get elected.

There was a conflict in 1979 - that’s when the Iran hostage crisis started, and if I remember correctly (not being alive when it happened), we thought military confrontation was a possibility.
