Having survived being a prisoner of war in Vietnam, wouldn't that make McCain less likely to send soldiers into harms way? With the entire world marching by the millions, begging the USA to stay out of Iraq, how could McCain have agreed with a president who was obviously manipulating the intelligence, the press, the country into a war of choice. Look at the great republican leader who did his time in Vietnam, Chuck Hagel, he was against the war from day one, was a constant critic and did everything in his power to keep our military out of this war. Now look at John McCain, a strong supporter of this war from the beginning... and chances are, if my 11 year old knew there were no WMD's in Iraq, John McCain knew there were no WMD'S in Iraq.
People should think long and hard about electing a man who knows the horrors of war first hand who would vote to send any anyone into that nightmare. John McCain, I don't know what makes him tick but I do not think he is operating from an emotionally stable place. He forgets important names, places, wars, he lies straight faced when asked about his stand on important issues. He promised to run a clean campaign and it's in the sewer by June.
I fear this is a very dangerous man. I have a cousin in Iraq, he is begging me to work for Obama. Most of our military in Iraq support Obama. Let's help undo what this 'vet', this man who knew better, the man who knew exactly where these soldiers were going, the man who voted against the bill giving Vets help in college, voted against giving vets better access to medical care, he voted yes to torture and he voted against Sen. Webb's bill limiting tour of duty in Iraq with a 12 month break between tours... it's okay with McCain that soldiers going back to Iraq for 3 and 4 tours.
Something is very wrong with this man. We made one catastrophic choice for the presidency, we can't afford to make that same mistake twice.
