How Manchurian-Candidate can this fellow get. So if his daughter gets captured in battle, gets beaten or worse (most likely worse) as a POW, would he also be “comfortable” with that? What did they really do to him in Vietnam?

Well, one of the daughters anyway ~ ‘Miss Chubbs’ most likely. She’d like that captivity part anyway. imagine the plight of the enemy knowing this ol’gal was heir to $1 billion and depending on how she is treated you and your commanding officers are all going to get green cards ~ eventually!

Daughters of politicians should be the first ones drafted - and put in infantry.

What a pandering, appeasing dumb sh_t McQueeg is! Not only was he a sh_tty pilot, he is even dumber as a U.S. senator. And he STILL got re-elected for the 5th or 6th time. Unbelieveable!

But hey, I suppport his fatty daughters to serving in front line positions as well.... Go for it, McQueeg! Make her the point lead!

Ace McCain dutifully reads the script put in front of him, as long as a Democrat wrote it.

Twit, yes. ‘Little’...not so much. Can’t imagine an infantry squad having to pick up the slack for that whiny, spoiled piglet. She would be fragged post haste.

John, I think your daughter would be more useful dropped behind enemy lines where she could spread VD amongst the hostile troops. That little harlot could probably take down entire divisions with the clap.

NOBODY should be comfortable with their daughter OR son serving in combat.

But, they should be PROUD and PRAYERFUL.
