All McCain wants is another war where he is CIC to prove something because he was not an achiever.

So, indylindy, why don't you tell us how many bombing missions you have flown and how much ordnance you delivered on target so we can see an example of what REAL achievement in a war looks like.

on October 26, 1967, he launched in his A-4E "Skyhawk", Bureau #149959, attack aircraft as the number three aircraft in the first division of a strike group against the Hanoi Thermal Power Plant. As part of the Attack Squadron 163, it was McCain’s 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam. .... McCain's flight met with considerable resistance in the form of anti-aircraft fire and surface-to-air missiles (SAM) approaching the target. As McCain rolled into his dive, his aircraft was observed by his wingman to take a direct hit by a Soviet-made SA-2

"Although his aircraft was severely damaged, he continued his bomb delivery pass and released his bombs on the target. When the aircraft would not recover from the dive, Commander McCain was forced to eject over the target." ... The citation for McCain's Distinguished Flying Cross

You sound like a Democrat. I am a 50 year old female. No, I did not serve. My two grandfathers, my two husbands, my father, and my son is serving now.

Just because I did not serve is not a valid reason for me to not assess my opinion of McCain. I never said I did not appreciate his service in Vietnam. This is a lib tactic you are using and I really resent it.

McCain graduated at the bottom of his class in college, that is what I was referring to. I do not think McCain is bright enough to act as POTUS. Neither is Obama. McCain may have honorable service behind him but that does not make him, with his lib socialist ways, a good GOP candidate for POTUS.

I am not going to get nasty with you, but your argument is weak at best.
