MANCHESTER, N.H. --Seven on-duty Army personnel participated in a campaign event for Senator John McCain earlier this month in Londonderry, New Hampshire, in an apparent violation of a Pentagon directive against partisan political activity, two military officials confirmed this week.

The September 14 rally at an American Legion hall was part of McCain's "No Surrender" tour of early-primary states, a martial pageant designed to draw attention to the Arizona Republican's continued support for the war in Iraq. Seven personnel from a Manchester, New Hampshire, recruiting station appeared in uniform and briefly addressed the crowd.

1. Ashamed to say I used to admire McCain

He is my senator, and when I used to live in California I even voted for him in a primary. But clearly, he is not in touch with reality anymore. It's very sad--I feel that his attitude will only result in the death of more Troops and more Iraqis, and possibly Iranians as well. He's not someone I can respect, admire or support any longer.

2. Me too

I used to like McCain, but I was misguided. I sent an e-mail to the Battalion Commander of that recruiting station. He knows damn well that Soldiers in uniform cannot take part in campaigning for any candidate.
