Of course he's not above criticism. But let's keep it to his actions on the job, not to his past as a "war hero who got captured," eh?Originally Posted by Threedee

He was "on the job" when he got captured. His "actions" on that job included getting captured by Signalman Ken's fellow freedom fighters, as I recall.

He had the "cache", old man?
Speaking of respect for men who served in Vietnam, do you recall leftists calling US soldiers and airmen "baby killers"?

He mocked military-loathing Blowjob Bill? Wait, BB didn't lose his wife, his wife lost.

Obama supporters and retired General Wesley Clark - "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president."
Liberal blogger John Aravosis - "getting shot down, tortured, and then doing propaganda for the enemy is not command experience"
Obama advisor Rand Beers - "McCain's isolation as a POW limited his insight on national security issues"
Looks to me as if Democrats, during the 2008 campaign, focused on McCain war record rather than his actions on the job.
Practically Perfect
Personally, I wish McCain had won the nomination in 2000.

That has something to do with this? Explain how. Then explain My Lai.

I thought I'd be able to trigger you into revealing your true feelings about the men who served in Vietnam, old timer. Looks like it's working.
Did you spit on any US troops? Did you call them (and McCain) "baby killer"?

Of course you do.

Did you know it a grossly exaggerated myth

The spiting? Yes. That doesn't mean it never happened at all. There are eyewitness accounts, reportedly.
Homecoming: When the Soldiers Returned From Vietnam is a book of selected correspondence published in 1989. Its genesis was a controversial newspaper column of 20 July 1987 in which Chicago Tribune syndicated columnist Bob Greene asked whether there was any truth to the folklore that Vietnam veterans had been spat upon when they returned from the war zone. Greene believed the tale was an urban legend. The overwhelming response to his original column led to four more columns, then to a book collection of the most notable responses.
After Greene made his best effort to check the truth of the accounts to be printed, he inserted a minimum of his own commentary in the text, preferring to let the veterans' words speak for themselves. The reprinted letters show a steady pattern of mistreatment of Vietnam veterans by all segments of American society, and in a wide variety of settings.
One of the contentious issues of the Vietnam War and its aftermath was the American public's response to its returning military veterans. Even as the citizenry's opposition to the war mounted, tales began to spread of returning veterans being mistreated.
The archetypal story became one of antiwar hippie protesters spitting upon returning veterans in an airport.
Twelve years after the Vietnam War ended, on 20 July 1987, syndicated columnist Bob Greene of the Chicago Tribune proposed testing the truth of what he considered an urban legend.
The headline of his column, syndicated in 200 papers, asked: "If You're A Veteran, Were You Spat Upon?" He ended the article: "So if you are a Vietnam veteran, and you were ever spat upon by a civilian after you returned home, please drop a line to this column. No jokes, please. If it really happened, it is no laughing matter. It would help if you provide approximate dates, places and circumstances".
His work address followed. So did a spate of letters. As the letters poured in, the future column became four written columns excerpting eleven of the responses. He included an open invitation for anyone who had spat upon a returning veteran to explain their motivation. Greene eventually received in excess of 1,000 responses to his question about being spat upon. He was also receiving a steady feedback of readers' telephone calls reacting to the four columns; many of the calls were rawly emotional. He decided he did believe spitting occurred, concluding: "There were simply too many letters, going into too fine a detail, to deny the fact".

Naturally, some partisan DEMOCRATS and people like yourself claimed the letters were fake or full of lies.

Liberal "respect" for men who served in Vietnam described by men who were there

Seems as though liberal "respect" for men who served in Vietnam is somewhat selective
