Hey Tex, do you know what they call the person who finishes last in his class at Medical School? DOCTOR!
Last in the class at Harvard Law? You get the idea. I also know men who were shot down with less than 23 missions. He was awarded those medals for his courage, bravery, and honor. It takes courage to strap on a fighter, knowing that it might be your last flight. Have you ever done that?
Also, the sons of Flag Officers that I knew in the Air Force were not “untouchable”. They had to work hard to achieve because of carrying the “legacy” burden. Blundered?
Nothing supposed about the zot just delivered to your posting privs. Nice links you have there, too - Daily Kos, Huff Post, and other liberal nutcase forums. Later, troll.
Thanks, Admin Moderator.
Shucks, and I thought you wanted to play.
Here ya’ went and got banned before the fun could start.
I can surely give profs to John for his service and wish no man ever has to endure what he did.
Now, for his politics, that's a new battle.
“Take your crap some place else there are a lot of vets in here who know cowardly spin verbal diarrhea when they hear it. By the way, lick you lips and wipe you mouth some of it is still dripping off.”
I’m assuming you meant to be posting to the original poster, as I would never denigrate McCain’s service.
I believe that McCain has the best interests of the United Sates of America at heart. He is flat-out wrong in some of his policy positions but not all. Barrack Hussein Obama does not, IMO, have the best interests of the United States of America at heart and is wrong on virtually all of his policy positions. McCain is the obvious choice.”
I agree and for that alone, there is NO comparison between these two. The MOST important quality is what you mentioned - a firm love of America and the determination to put its interests and good ahead of his own. Look, he’ll need some Come to Jesus briefings when he takes office, but they’ll come, and because his motives are honorable, he’ll listen to them. And hopefully, likely, he’ll be surrounded by wise advisors and people smarter than he, with the same intentions for America and to keep it safe.
The alternative of BHO is totally untenable and unthinkable.
So much for his posting “priviledges.”
I don’t care where he was, even anchormen(last in class) he was able to be accepted out of all those that applied. An admirals son has to make the grade to get in Annapolis. It is a lot more than most people do. My husband wasn’t at the top of his class, but he still is a hero to most who wanted in and couldn’t get there. I admire anyone who went through the four years at USNA and made it through. Plebe year was tough back then.
