McCain didn’t abandon his men in the prison in Hanoi. What would powell have done? I should simply say “WWPD?” when anyone faces a challenge to bravery and the coward’s path is attracting them.

I wonder if the men under powell’s command ever considered that if the fight turned against them, he might just jump to the other side?

Just some questions.

I doubt very much that he would've equaled McCain's valor.

But, your question brings up another question.

What would Powell do, and for that matter, what would Obama do, in the case where we had to go to battle or war against, say, a black nation somewhere in Africa?

It is my belief that Powell endorsed Obama because Obama is, well, of the same race. Never mind that Powell is also a democrat at heart.

If the color of his skin is more important to Powell than principles, then, would color also matter when it came to fighting an enemy which might be the same color as he is? Would he be allowed to, say, sit that war out?
