Given McCain’s personal history as a “left behind” during his six years as a POW in North Vietnam, I believe this is a gut issue for him that is beyond politics. Abandoning men on the battlefield is beyond the pale, and that’s why John McCain is in such an absolute rage tonight. As am I.
Then why, as Senator, did John McCain abandon all the POW/MIA in Viet Nam? As did John Kerry -- but it was to be expected from him.
