I like McCain on military and anything that requires nerve. These days, all Presidents need to be tough minded. That said, I haven’t made up my mind yet, but will this weekend.
Yea but I don’t want a guy in there with only one and half brain cells firing, with the one functional one controling the one movable finger left resting on the red button and the other half-functioning one supplying the logic.
Really? Do you know what Vets think of him?
The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides
But there was one subject that was off-limits, a subject the Arizona senator almost never brings up and has never been open about -- his long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American prisoners of war in Vietnam and the missing in action who have still not been accounted for. Since McCain himself, a downed Navy pilot, was a prisoner in Hanoi for 5 1/2 years, his staunch resistance to laying open the POW/MIA records has baffled colleagues and others who have followed his career. Critics say his anti-disclosure campaign, in close cooperation with the Pentagon and the intelligence community, has been successful. Literally thousands of documents that would otherwise have been declassified long ago have been legislated into secrecy.

They require nerve but they also require loyalty to their own - McCain does not have that valuable trait. He will turn on anybody in a minute for his own gain.
