Hey Sgt. Jones, you big dumb box of rocks.
Just being a friggin soldier doesn’t make you any kind of hero. In fact it makes you a jerk. If there were no soldiers, there would be nobody to carry out the plans of greedy bastards like Bush and Cheney. No soldiers=nobody trained to kill=peace on earth…kind of like what Jesus had in mind. I’m fed up with the hero worship of any thick-skulled clown who thinks the military will be a great career, with early retirement and excellent benefits. Not all soldiers are heroes. I’d bet that most of them are just chicken little shits who just want to go home and retire early with excellent benefits.
The ribbon on my bumper says ‘I don’t support the troops’. They’re just ordinary people too damn stupid to realize how they’re being used.

Damn skippy! McCain also chopped down a cherry blossom tree while a prisoner of war. If having a big pair of BALLS makes one qualified to be president, then Hillary is ahead of McCain.

[...] McCain campaign tries to blame Obama and attack his lack of patriotism, even though Clark was not speaking on behalf of Obama, and even though Obama publicly rejected [...]

Am I running for president?

Are you saying that anyone who was in the military for 20 years and spent 5 1/2 years as a POW is automatically qualified to be president for that reason alone?

Yes, since you asked, I am asking questions about McCain’s qualifications for office. You say that’s fine. So we are in agreement. Thanks.

But other than that, you’re wrong. You know nothing about me, and you’re not very good at guessing.

IRON, you’re a spineless fool who’s obviously never put on a uniform in your pitiful life. A 20 year military career and 5 1/2 years of suffering beatings, broken bones, and barbarian torture (real torture, not sleep deprivation and water boarding) are not enough to qualify a man to lead this country? What about the last 35 years McCain has spent as a public servant. John McCain has spent his entire adult life serving this country. Three of his son’s have served in the Military including one who is in Iraq right now. You want to ask questions about his qualifications for office? That’s fine. But would you have had the BALLS to refuse to sign a confession through 4 days of beatings every 2 hours. Would you have had the BALLS to refuse to be released without your fellow Soldiers and Sailors being released with you? No, you wouldn’t have even been in that situation because your BALLS never dropped and you’re too much of a pansy to have ever gotten off your ass and done anything for a cause greater than your own. You are trash, and you should start every morning by finding a person in uniform and thanking them for having enough BALLS to carry their load and yours too.

I never said that the accident on the Forrestal was McCain’s fault (although some people have claimed that it was his fault, see http://judicial-inc.biz/82jjohn_mccain_and_the_uss_forresta.htm).

It is unclear how collaborating with the enemy can be considered heroic, even if it is understandable given his circumstances. It is also clear that once the Vietnamese found out he was the son of admirals, they treated him much better than other prisoners.

But my point was not at all about whether or not he was a war hero, only that we are (clearly) not allowed to ask questions about either his military service, nor state the obvious that military service (even if heroic) does not necessarily mean that said soldier would be a good president.

The accident on the Forrestal was not McCain’s fault, and his actions can be described as heroic.

The same can be said for his actions while a prisoner of war.
