"Most of us who survived that experience are now in our late 60's and 70's. Sadly, we have died and are dying off at a greater rate than our non-POW contemporaries. We experienced injuries and malnutrition that are coming home to roost. So I believe John's age (73) and survival expectation are not good for being elected to serve as our President for 4 or more years.
I can verify that John has an infamous reputation for being a hot head. He has a quick and explosive temper that many have experienced first hand. Folks, quite honestly that is not the finger I want next to that red button."

I saw the ad today too. It will be interesting to watch the numbers during the next couple of weeks to see if it is effective.
My betting is that this causes resentment in many of the vet voters.
I don't know. I think vets have been a bit all over the place as regards McCain anyway. Certainly not all vets are pro-McCain. There was a thread here not long ago discussing that; it might be back a few pages...
Should we start calling everyone who did 'blow' with obama?
John McCain has all these "POW" buddies doing his attack ads and he trots them out for the sympathy vote, so if one of the "POW" acquaintances wants to put his two cents in, he should be given the same respect as the other. Is he less a hero?
