This Colonel's Son Never Made It Back from Vietnam
And the reason: John McCain

http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/cin_hopper_video.htm




Earl Pearson Hopper, Jr.
Lieutenant Colonel
US Air Force

13th Tactical
Fighter Squadron
Udorn Airbase, Thailand

Date of Loss:
10 January 1968

Country of Loss:
North Vietnam

Status in 1973:
Missing In Action

Aircraft/Vehicle/Ground:
F4D "Phantom II"


Watch the videos. It's very damning for McCain who, as a U.S. Senator, blocked release of government documents that would have provided the necessary information to return the remaining MIAs and POWs.

Also, keep in mind, this man holds similar feelings for John Kerry. However, this could be the equivalent of SBVs in 2004 that could take out John McCain. McCain has royally ticked off families of MIAs/POWs.

This is the key to winning in November. The Freepers have posted endlessly on their site about this before McCain won the nomination.

3. McCain fun fact: He had less than 20 hours of combat time before he was shot down
His service is duly noted and admired, but it was only 20 hours. Compare that to the soldiers he helped send to war in Iraq with multiple tours...
