I have always suspected that McCain's mind was broken by his years in captivity and the tender ministrations of the NVA.

IMO he is not stable and decidedly NOT the man to have his finger on 'the button'.

I honor and respect his service and sacrifice, but we need to be realistic about his issues.

That's just about the best analysis of McCain anyone has offered.

It is sad to see a good man slowly decline after so many great achievements. Sometimes I wonder how his experiences may have contributed to his demise. We will never know what went on in those years of captivity. My guess is his conscious has probably nearly eaten him alive. It is quite possible that the rumors of his treason could be true. That, however is between him and God.

Meanwhile he is in is 70's. I think his prime is well past for leading our nation.

My 2 cents.
