Reply #37: Thanks for the link, although, I don't know anything about it's validity.

They kick Kerry and Obama around pretty badly on there, too. But the interesting thing is, they really, really hate McCain.

I was thinking that I'd like to know if McCain did actually take any heroic risks, say, for example, of going in voluntarily to rescue others. If this resume is correct, he just flew missions and was shot down.

Ok, ok. Of course he doesn't deserve criticism for serving and surviving unbelievable agony. Of course not.

But he's using it to run on, so that makes it fair for critical evaluation.

Kerry did go on rescue missions at his own risk. Even though he was never captured, he actually took more risks. He was on the ground and in the water under direct fire. I know it's not toally safe to be in a bomber, but, if the GOP can claim that Kerry wasn't a hero, then, how does flying a plane make McCain a hero?

The other important issue is fitness for the job of world leader. That is an entirely legitimate cause for concern. While the McCain campaign claims that his service makes him an indisputable candidated, I disaggree. I think his post traumatic stress, which is widely confirmed in current media snippets, disqualifies him for the job.

No, we should not make an ex-pow a president. He's too emotinally broken to serve in such a stressfull job with so many lives in his hands.
