I am a Vietnam Vet and I bet McCain hates me also. Probably because I managed to complete my tour without getting captured.

I heard he also wrecked a second plane in flight training.

Your post reminded me of something I read about John McCain years ago. It was an interview in, I think, “Parade” magazine. I can’t remember exact quotes but I do recall, after reading, that I had the distinct impression that McCain only joined the Navy to impress his Father/Grandfather and that he had a habit of doing rash, reckless things that placed him in danger. I’ve always wondered if doing something stupid, and getting captured, still qualified you as a hero.

I’m sort of a novice when it comes to warfare, but I’m no stranger to waiting for someone away at war. My husband went to Vietnam twice and wasn’t, thankfully, taken prisoner, due no doubt to his intelligence, diligence and overall carefulness. Hubby is now retired and missed no promotions due to fooling around on his wife.

McCain’s war record is not my complaint, however. His voting inconsistency, disrespect to Republican colleagues, seeming mental instability, and HIS AGE, disqualify him as far as I’m concerned. How is a 73 year old man going to run for a second term? I think his decision to run was one of the most selfish decisions I’ve seen a politician make in a long time. Only the Clintoons have the ability to surpass it.
