[nam78_two]

I have been steadily losing patience with McCain in the last two years but still this is kinda impressive:

I don't know of too many members of congress with kids serving...:shrug:

1. I would withhold judgment until we see what his duty assignment is.

How many republicans do you know of joining the military unless dada got them a good gig.

5. That isnt always true

along with Dem leaders sons that have went off to war.

2. I know. I posted this last night when I heard it on KGO radio news.

It seems his other son in attending the Naval Academy, and now this on has joined the Marines. I realize the McCain family history is very military, so that has a lot to do with the decision, but I really wish him luck. Marines are the ones that get thrust into the middle of the mess all the time!

3. Yeah

Every time I convince myself to hate the SOB he pulls some stunt like this. Just wish he would be consistent - either be the RW kiss-butt at Liberty University or be the stand-up patriot voicing contempt for Swift Boaters. Very confusing.

4. I have no doubts about him.

6. EWWWW

my eyes...my eyes

yeah no..I am not saying I think he is all that great. The isolated action is still something and though overall I think he is kinda a oppportunistic creep by now, some things he has done in the past (the POW stuff etc.) are good in a stand-alone sense...

8. Revolting how Bush doesn't look down when he hugs.

He looks out.

7. Well...

9. Maybe they'll make war movies like Raygun did during his military

service.

10. And the Senator will make absolutely certain he never sees the
