No, you are not knowledgeable enough of the military to understand that flying F-102s stateside wasn’t without risk. No one can say that President Bush lacked courage, that’s for damn sure.
The key is to take the man’s entire record and look at how he has lived his entire life.
No one is perfect. McCain has views that disappoint us all. So does President Bush. Even Ronald Reagan made a few mistakes.
But when faced with the prospect of a 46 year old President who 4 years ago was a lowly state senator, who has been no where and done nothing in his life worth noting, to harp on McCain’s faults seems idiotic in the extreme.
Duncan Hunter didn’t make it, so my man is McCain.
