. . . that the former POW's (McCain) isolation during the Vietnam War has hobbled the Arizona senator's capacity as a war-time leader.“Sadly, Sen. McCain was not available during those times, and I say that with all due respect to him," said informal Obama adviser Rand Beers. "I think that the notion that the members of the Senate who were in the ground forces or who were ashore in Vietnam have a very different view of Vietnam and the cost that you described than John McCain does because he was in isolation essentially for many of those years and did not experience the turmoil here or the challenges that were involved for those of us who served in Vietnam during the Vietnam war (Beers enlisted in the Marines in 1964 served four years leading a rifle company Vietnam)."
"So I think," he continued, "to some extent his national security experience in that regard is sadly limited and I think it is reflected in some of the ways that he thinks about how U.S. forces might be committed to conflicts around the world."
As I said, it will be a very interesting hearing.
That is interesting.
OPINION:
Needless to say, after googling Beers; it seems to me that he meets the values and standards of the Obama administration.
