With all due respect to Mr. Harris -and all the other misguided, uninformed posters, regarding Mr. McCain's "service", "war record" and "honorable service".
Please do yourselves a favor and do a little research by clicking on this LINK
( tinyurl.com/ycv9pxg ). There are several sites listed here in Google, regarding "Viet Nam Vets Against John McCain". Study up a little and see how those of us who served with McCain and KNOW about his "history" . .going all the way back to high school, where his Yearbook listed his nickname as "Punk"!
He would have been thrown out of the Naval Academy a dozen times for rules violations, had his father not been a very senior Admiral! He graduated 5th from the Bottom of his class . .BUT, somehow, mysteriously, ended up in flight training in Pensacola, when they were only taking the top 10% when I was accepted!
I am sure Mrs. Palin does not even know the dirty laundry in McCain's past. She probably is under the spell of the mythology put out about the man.
I was flying on Active Duty as a Navy LT, when he got his dumb, order violating ass shot down. That was the FIFTH taxpayer's aircraft he totaled! The first 4 were also screw-ups, not "accidents". There were 19 other jets on that mission . .but HE was the only one shot down . .because he violated orders and flew too low!
I am not going to get into the gross details, but if you read the LINKS I provided, you will learn that his behavior as a POW was a LOT less than 'honorable'! As was his behavior in his subsequent duty assignments when he got back. You WON'T find many Viet Nam vets or Navy Pilots who respect the guy, but do your own research and then tell us if you feel the same.
While you are 'studying up', check out Mrs. Palin's record as running a "Sanctuary State" up there in Alaska. They welcomed "Illegals" and have so many, had to build a Mexican Embassy, much like Mr. Huckabee did in Little Rock! Sarah is 'soft' on "Secure Borders" and Illegal Alien
