I wish John McCain health but it is rare that one wins against glioblastoma.

His actions in war and as a prisoner were most noble despite what many say. You can break anyone with time and torture. He was and is a hero. He was without doubt a man of honor that I could only hope to equal. I do not think I could.

He paid heavily as a prisoner. He was singled out for particularly brutal treatment due to the fact his father commanded the Naval Forces in the Pacific during the Vietnam War.

I will not miss him as Senator McCain though I wish his absence was not due to glioblastoma. I just wish he had retired with honor years ago.

Unfortunately a great man as was he, became part of the Washington DC Swamp. “Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.” Sir John Dalberg-Acton

He is a great man with many flaws.

Was.

He hasn't done much for this nation in the past 40 years.
