No...but being a POW for five years, enduring torture and maintaining resolve to not divulge the information your captors seek is pretty damned impressive. Landing on an aircraft carrier that is under attack, catching fire, putting yourself out on the way to help in the rescue effort...pretty impressive as well.
I don't think anyone sould belittle McCain's record as a war hero. He was pilot, and faced danger any time he flew over enemy territory. That is demonstrated from the fact that he was shot down, and spent all that time as a POW. That being said, TJ's comments about Kerry, Kerry's superiors in the Navy, and pay cuts for the troops show exactly how little he actually cares about the troops... Or it would if he were serious about any of this.
Interesting to see what the right wing-nuts say about mccain in capitivity. If he were a democrat, the three stooges would be shouting these loopy stories from the rooftops http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=60020
Based Trader's thread on the prospects of a possible endoscopy -- i'm quite sure he would have returned to Vietnam after 4 possibly 5 'superficial' bullet and/ or shrapnel wounds. You know, it's only a flesh wound.
You are a disgrace. To insult a true war hero who was giving it his all for our nation's benefit like this is the height of stupidity. It's just ignorant. Typical Obama supporter...
Learn the facts -- Kerry was wounded by shrapnel. How can you try to argue something when you don't even know the facts? That's an interesting approach...
Dude, you should seriously take a step back after your Mormon-bashing to learn what hypocrisy really is. Typical Obama supporter...
Shrapnel actually kills more soldiers than bullets, so for you to try and belittle his wound makes no sense. For you to criticize others for their support of the troop when your support has been shown time and time again to be incredibly lacking. The way you've insulted an entire command chain and accused them of conspiring to falsify reports, and some allow another soldier(John Kerry) to cheat the armed forces is disgraceful. Even though you wouldn't mean an apology, I'm surprised you haven't thrown out one just to try and deflect some of the shame.
look, no one question's mccain's comment to his country. its just if he is going to play his vietnam card than he throws it out there for questioning. i think getting shot down was a lot rarer event than you guys realize.
So where was Barack during the time that McCain was putting his life on the line for the United States in 'Nam? Oh that's right, in Jakarta, Indonesia, with his step-father Lolo Soetoro and his atheist mother, attending a Muslim school. Might not be in the best interest of the obama camp to attack McCain's military record... especially given the fact that obama's only military experiences have come in his black militant 'church'...
yes because barrack was old enough to serve in vietnam you also do realize that jeremiah wright was a marine? as usual your arguments hold no water
pgabs, you are trying to imply that McCain was somehow inadequate for being shot down in Vietnam. And you are defending a racist, bigot, and America-hating anti-semite (Wright). And your candidate didn't serve. And you say my arguments hold no water? Your starting role on the mental junior varsity is secure.
I'm not questioning anyone's commitment to this country. your argument holds no water because of your comments about kerry. you're so funny, you think you can play mccarthy behind your keyboard and decide who's more american than the next person. march on you internet fighting marine. LOL
You tell me who is more American... <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5N-1-g90bW0&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5N-1-g90bW0&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
When talking about Kerry (the point that YOU brought up), the appropriate response is to talk about Bush. Or is Kerry running this year and just hasn't gotten any press? Try again, rookie.
