I really have to wonder if you truly are a Vietnam Vet ... What is the deepest pain of the Vietnam War? It is the POW/MIAs that were left behind and unaccounted for. Put McCain's POW status on hold for a moment and examine what he has done to the POW/MIA Issue since 1973 when he returned to US Soil.

He yelled at witnesses who didn't agree with them, interrupted them and even brought the sister of a missing serviceman to tears with one of his finger-pointing name calling fits. Fast forward a few years and after a lot of hard work on behalf of said POWs/MIAs, strong legislation was added to the Missing Service Personnel Act of 1995. POW/MIA Families were finally breathing a sigh of relief - it was now punishable for DoD officials to lie to families, among other things. He gutted that bill the first opportunty he got and made future missing military personnel cases even more political by having decision made in Washington rather than by leaders on the ground. I could go on and on ... You go stand at The Wall in DC and ask the ghosts what they think of McCain. And for the sake of full disclosure, those POW/MIA familiy members? I happen to be one. 4o plus years and counting ... Thanks to McCain. RadioRelay said ..
