Glad you're here! John McCain has a tin ear when it comes to foreign policy. Remember during the GOP CONvention in 2012 when he spoke, and rattled the sabers about how many different wars we rightfully should be starting and/or otherwise getting into? I counted FIVE by the time he was finished speaking. I kep T thinking - um, who's gonna be fighting these wars, John? YOU gonna suit up and go over there and put your own money where your mouth is? And with what money, pray tell? Gonna advocate raising taxes to pay for it - which any normal administration would find the need to do?

I think anybody who advocates that ardently for war should be required to enlist and ship out for combat immediately. And that includes those who served already. You want it that badly? Well, lead the way then. After YOU, then!
