It’s all good stuff, so why hasn’t McCain make this public until now?

his military record will not matter...the media is in bed with Obama...its all about race and identity politics.

Interesting. He wrecks five jets and gets a Distinguished Flying Cross. Heck, I wrecked two helicopters and all I got was an Air Medal. Wait a minute, it’s starting to make sense. If I’d just had more time, and more helicopters...

Probably political timing for maximum publicity. The Democrats have pretty much chosen their nominee, although the Kabuki Theatre will continue for another few weeks.

McCain needs something to keep him in the news.

Maybe, he doesn't like to brag.

He won't pound his own chest, he knew it would come out eventually so why look like he was using it when someone else will do it for him

mccain doesn’t talk about his sons service either. he may be angry, but he seems to be humble as well.

I think he has said many of times that he was not a hero. The Heros are the ones that didn’t come home.

Modesty.

My uncle had a good battlefield medal for bravery in WW2 but you would never have found out by talking to him.

Exactly, I don't understand this about McCain... he's a bit TOO modest.

And I believe he has two courageous sons (both Marines?) serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. He really should bring that up once in awhile. The MSM certainly won't mention anything good about McCain (or any Republican)...

Because it would be buried under the attention of the Democrat contest.
