I think it is fascinating, too, that people are being so negative about things that are common knowledge amongst those who were there. You don't have to believe me -- go check it out for yourself -- it's not hard to do. I assume most of you aren't even close to his age, so you're assuming an awful lot about times you probably don't even know about. Besides, how many of you know him personally? Sounds like no one, so far......
My friend was not a pilot -- he was a nuclear weapons specialist on the naval ships -- was in the Cuban Missile Crisis, etc. Yes, he, unfortunately, has really bad memories of experiences of planes crashing (even on-board the ships -- sometimes I guess the pilots couldn't navigate those small areas). It's a time he still has PTSD with. He was a military lifer .... for what it's worth.
Plus, considering he's one of my best friends, and is a military man, I wouldn't be so quick to assume what you think you know about me. I merely stated what many have stated -- that as we get older our memories do begin to go -- it is just human biology.
Look, if I have a good military friend, who just happened to serve with him, what is the attack against me, and why do I have to call him out on it? I merely stated that I knew someone who served with him, and what was said about McCain. These men on board suffered enough. My main points were the age and memory loss, and the temper (which I just don't believe is good in leadership, as I work in a law enforcement agency, and I know that people are closely backgrounded and psychologically tested because of those kinds of responses - it is just not safe to have a loose cannon in command!).
Geez, you'd think I was waving an Obama flag or something....get it together folks -- you know nothing about me, politically. It's just common-sense that someone with an anger-management problem shouldn't be in charge of others.....
Forget it, it's useless to bring up the obvious because obviously no one wants to acknowledge it. Sorry.
Do not say you are sorry. Your post was very interesting and informative. Not everybody here is attacking you.

No need to be sorry my friend. Your friend should be commended for his service to the country. That above everything else is most important here and should be acknowledged. God bless.

It must have been his bad temper that caused him to call his wife a bad name on public.

You should be. I didn't know McCain has been diagnosed to have anger management issues. Can you post the link to the official report - I'll acknowledge it after I read it. Thanks.
How so? Do you know this poster? She/he could just as well be making up this "story". Give us the name of your "friend" so we can check out if he was actually in the service with McCain.

He and Cindy both prefer to call his anger management problems his "passion."
I dont know, someone in the most pressurized job on the planet, prone to fits of "passion"? Doesnt sound safe to me.
But a raging temper is the sign of a Manly Man, right ladies? No, Im not speaking to those of you whose MMs put you or your children into the graveyard, you cant vote.

Can't believe how gullible some people are.
Since you frequently insist on knowing the background of people to determine their credibility, why don't you share some of your own so we can gauge yours. I noticed your profile doesn't even share where you're from. Do share so we can determine from your background whether we are to take you seriously.

No wonder you think every story is made up, since you lived for weeks on the Whitey story and the birth certificate story and the closet Muslim story, etc, etc, etc.
Sorry but his temper tantrums are a well-documented fact and have been infamous in the Senate for years.
