Might this be the event you’re thinking of?

Hey Sander O what were your brave acts during 1965-74. What did you do to stop the bombing of Vietnam?

I could look it up, but time lacks. I thought a congressman died after being beaten with a cane by another congressman, perhaps Calhoun, just before the Civil War.

McCain is a coward who dropped bombs and got caught and send to jail. He should not have been tortured. But he’s dumb as a fence post and not he’s pissed at non whites.

What a jerk.

Arriana is slippery and smart.

She has some serious accounting to do. Wife and I remember her as the right wing shill a few years back.

Switching sides does not remove your sins.

yadda yadda yadda…He needs to come up with an original ‘concern’ instead of the same ‘concern’ of people showing too much emotion, people being passionate about politics once again etc. I can only surmise that this same ‘concern’ was in play in 1968?

You are incorrect. McCain would be the oldest president ever elected. By far.

To those of you who have expressed disbelief that someone like McCain, “who has seen war up close and personal,” can continue to be such a warmonger, there is one thing you need to understand. McCain never saw “war,” as such, “up close and personal.” He was a pilot. War for pilots is a lot less up close than for others.

I have noticed, since I live in a town that harbors a lot of retired miltiary, particularly retired Airforce, that they are quite a few degrees more right wing than other branches. My dad was retired Army. When he fought, it truly was upclose and personal and as he grew older, he became less and less tied to the notion that war was something righteous and glorious all on its own. He voted for Bill Clinton despite all the noise about Clinton “dodging the draft” and “protesting the war.”

Retired fighter and bomber pilots, particularly, have few such experiences. They don’t often really see “up close and personal” the effects of their actions. Most of what McCain knows of war is at a distance. He didn’t see anything close enough that would make him pity the destruction to people wrought by bombs. And then his experiences as a POW only made him hate those very people. Thus you have a man who can sing “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” with relish and demonic glee.
