Entry: President McCain? Noooooo! Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/president_mccain_noooooo#16153 Post contents: Great piece, just one quibble: McCain was a Navy pilot, you remember, who was shot down over Hanoi and spent some years there in the Hanoi Hilton undergoing a number of gruesome rigors. He did not lead a brigade, which is, of course, an Army formation We actual Army people who were there in the late republic (I was in Thua Thien Province, near Hue, riding a chair) used to listen to McCain's name invoked with some degree of sympathy, as we recalled that his father, who was then CINCPAC, ourt commander over Gen. Abrams, had to suffer the imprisonment of his son, and thus undergo the hardships of the war as we were. This is not a campaign endorsement, just a historical recitation. Sent at: 2008 07 24
