McCain Must Lead the Charge

[elleng]

'Sen. John McCain served his nation with honor in Vietnam, and he is right to be proud of his service. But by hedging on whether he will support a "GI Bill for the 21st Century," he is casting doubt on his own commitment to the newest generation of American heroes.' >>>

1. Wrong question.

All Old Man McSame will have to do is change his vote and there is no argument.

The better question is: why is McSame willing to continue to put those same military personnel in harm's way based on a lie.

Does he not understand that by insisting that America stay in the Middle east for at least 100 years, he not only jeopardizes the military he has spent his life serving that he also guarantees failure at home?

Maybe a better question would be, does he serve his nation, or does he serve his party?

2. The obligatory "served his country with honor" shit

He volunteered to drop bombs on civilians in a different evil, immoral war of aggression. He was as honorable as any German bomber pilot in WWII who dropped bombs on England.
