This not new, it’s just something that, I suspect, most us Vets are on the fence about.
To those of us who our service during those times were a life changing event, it’s still very hard and, to me, disturbing subject to think about, let alone post about.
Part of me remembers, like it was this morning, those events, and part of me says...walk a mile in another man’s shoes, which I didn’t.
Personally, I think there is more than enough after service evidence to sink McManic’s ship with, than to open old wounds.
That’s just me.
I posted this a minte ago on another thread- and have mentioned it elsewhere lately.
I don’t want to go there.
My son is a comabat vet who absolutely can’t STAND John McCain. He said this morning that in his view- this entire topic should NOT be brought up during the campaign, for many reasons- many of which he didn’t want to pursue- but he said it’s just wrong.
My feeling is- it will backfire and bring sympathy to McCain and might well be enough to get him the nomination.
I won’t support this as a way to bring down McCain. There are endless reasons why this man is not suited to be our nominee- dredging up a painful past is bound to harm US more than him.
