“Anyone who would hurl personal insults hiding behind the annonymity of a message board is a coward in my book.”
Then that must include you, for calling me a “coward.” Is that not a “personal insult”? Or do vets play by different rules?
Look, I’m sorry for saying that you disgust me. I shouldn’t have said that. I have a bad habit of writing things like that about people I know nothing about.
I’m just having a hard time understanding how someone who “carried an M-16” could be apathetic about the prospect of having a rat for CinC. What are you going to do if the rat surrenders on your behalf? Are you going to shoot Osamabama with your M-16?
Say what you will about McCain, but I doubt he will surrender — and that’s more than I can say about Hillary or Osamabama.
Oh, and McCain is hardly my “hero,” although I do have respect for his service and his 5+ years as a POW.
I read the other day that he was in his aircraft onboard the carrier USS Forrestal when a missle was accidentally launched, hit his plane, and started a fire that ended up killing over 100 sailors. Apparently he had to crawl down the nose of his plane to escape. I’d say ol’ Johnny boy has seen the horrors of war first hand. Doesn’t he deserve a bit of respect from you for that alone?

First of all, I was responding to your disgusting attack. But if you want my name and address, send me a private reply, and I'll be glad to give it to you.
“Look, I’m sorry for saying that you disgust me.”
I sincerely doubt that you are sorry about anything, it is clearly how you feel, you just didn't enjoy getting blasted by everyone that thought your comments were very inappropriate. If you're going to be a jerk, at least stick to your guns.

I am hardly apathetic about having an ultra leftist as CinC. I donated money every week to conservative candidates, until the day there were none left in the race.
Whether Obama pulls us out of Iraq and Afghanistan and let's the bad guys take over in one year, or McCain surrenders our sovereignty and we get 40 million new socialist voters that ensure all future president's will be to the left of Teddy Kennedy, we lose either way.
While I respect McCain's service, his joining with Dick Durbin to trash the good people running GTMO, and his joining with the DEMS to trash the SECDEF doesn't impress me. Also, McCain's temper worries me. I can see us in a major conflict with another world power if McCain gets mad.
While you can respect McCain's service, that does not mean he would be a good CiC. You worry about Obama surrendering in the GWOT, but the end result with McCain would be the same. At least with a leftist in power, there might actually be an opposition party.
