Me and McCain

So is Mr Duyet implying that that Senator McCain lied about his treatment at the Hanoi Hilton?

"He did not tell the truth," he says.

"But I can somehow sympathise with him. He lies to American voters in order to get their support for his presidential election."

(in fairness):

But Mr Duyet's propaganda-perfect version of events is impossible to verify - and should be treated with caution in a country where the Communist authorities still keep a tight control over the media.

Relations between Vietnam and the United States have improved dramatically in recent years, following the normalisation of ties between the former enemies in 1995.

2. It disgusted me when they attacked Kerry on Vietnam

It will disgust me if they attack McCain even if he is a Rebuke. I'm not interested in refighting that war or questioning service records.

His behavior to his first wife is all you need if you wish to question his honor.

3. I'm a vet, about McCain's age and don't consider him a hero...

a good American yes. It would not behoove Obama's camp to questions his military service. However, he did graduate from the Naval Academy in the bottom one percent of his class of 600+. And, I wouldn't feel too comfortable flying with him...not a "Top Gun" type. Not admiral material, not presidential material.

His broken bones were the result of his 3rd crash...think that there were more, including during training.

It would be interesting to interview others that were in the Hanoi Hilton with him.

What's his take on Jane Fonda?

Time for more googling.
