McCain is so strong on the WOT, this is his saving grace for me.

Actually McCain is strong on fighting a twentieth century large ground force war. He has not backed any of President Bush’s team’s approaches to cripple and stop the enemies that we face today.

I agree with your observation on McCain. McCain gets a pass on his WOT positions but he does not vote for the things that would support us.

For what it’s worth, I do not consider McCain a “hero” either. I appreciate his service and his being held prisoner in Hanoi, but I don’t know of anything he did that was especially heroic. The only thing I can think of was his supposedly not being willing to be released ahead of the other prisoners.

But post Vietnam, it seems the majority of Vietnam vets do not support McCain. Why? Because he did not support making sure we had every prisoner out of there, and he trashed the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth as he supported Kerry in the face of compelling evidence that Kerry is a liar and traitor to our country.

Add in McCain’s opposition to Gitmo and claiming waterboarding is torture, and McCain is not the military supporter he claims he is.

Frankly, Senator McCain, I have no desire to be one of “my friends” as you so loosely over use the term.

Absolutely the only similarities to McCain’s position and the President’s is/was more boots on the ground how to execute it was/is totally different.

Yet again McCain is not being totally honest as he was over Romney’s position regarding withdrawal.
