Well-done, poignant, topical. Simply put, John McCain is a hawk of the highest order, even despite his experiences. Maybe <I>because</I> of them, if that can be believed.<BR/><BR/>His inflammatory comments have been overlooked for the last thirty years due to his service to this country, which, despite the type of campaign he is running, does make him a hero.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.

Second, he was captured by some Vietnamese fishermen, who risked their own lives to swim out and save him, when he parachuted into a lake. Third, he was turned over to the PNVA, not the Vietcong. The term "gook" has evolved into a term used to describe any person of Asian descent. Anyone who says otherwise, is quibbling, or flast out lying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
