John McCain and the GOP have 'Cheapened' serving in the Armed Force

John McCain has been using the POW argument to silence any and all criticism of him or his policies. Most of the time they aren't relevant. Just like when he got a lot of back lash for not knowing how many houses he has. He used his status as a POW to silence the Media questions about it.
Highlight the fact that real 'hero's' do not put their service out there as a 'qualification' for ANY advancement or benefit . . . including President. To serve, to be captured or to die in service to one's country is a SELFLESS act, the ultimate sacrifice. Not one to be politicized as qualification for office or a position. John McCain has cheapened the service and sacrifice of so many veterans past and present by using his service as a bludgeon to silence his critics and to quell common sense.
Say: "John McCain is Cheapening the sacrifice and the heroic efforts of Himself and many other veterans by constantly bringing up the well known fact that he is a POW to combat charges from cheating at the 'Forum' to the War in Iraq. Being a POW and his JUDGMENT and POLICY positions are separate and unrelated. Stop bringing up your service as a qualifier for EVERYTHING that is said about you! You are diminishing the honor of serving in our Armed services!
