Bah, can I just say how sick I am of hearing people kowtow to McCain over being such a great "war hero?"
One of these days I want somebody in the Obama camp (not he himself, since he'd just look bad) to reply to that "John McCain knows how to win a war!" nonsense by saying "Name one war John McCain has won. I can think of one he helped LOSE, but not win..."
Meanwhile, he was a crappy pilot who cost Uncle Sam a durn sight of money with all his crashing, who talked in prison (well, torture works, I can't fault him too hard for that), and who never really had any leadership experience. He did a dangerous job, but it was just a job, and killing a bunch of Vietnamese people doesn't make you a mighty war hero.
