If you want to see B1 Bob Dornan talk about the questionable nature of John McCain's military record as well as others regarding him collaborating with the Viet Cong while POW, this is a good start.

You might also wonder why John McCain was in such a hurry to make his miltary record classified. For bonus points, perhaps you know what year the Panama Canal became an official state. That's where John McCain was born, and last I checked, you have to be born in the United States to run for President.

1. not smart or good to question someone who spent 6 years as a pow no matter what the
circumstances - it was a terrible thing and I for one would not have wanted to endure it and would have told them anything they wanted to hear just to get out - not a good direction to take - wasn't right when they did it to kerry and it isn't right now

2. I say we let people like Bob Dornan express their opinion...
I'm sure Hannity has him in his Rolodex...

3. Compared to Stockdale
he pales dismally into a nothing on ALL fronts, even the speaking flops for which Stockdale, unprepared and unhelped, got a very bum rap. The MSM was merciless with Stockdale and is appallingly just as bad in reverse with the truly heroic, ADMIRAL Stockdale's pitiful successor who is running as President no less. All this before you get to the horrific, Bush, old leadership horrors and hypocrisies of his Senate record.

All very very consistent and unredeemed by any accomplishment or quality whose very myth has been betrayed by McCain himself with impunity.

4. Answer as I understand it
For bonus points, perhaps you know what year the Panama Canal became an official state. That's where John McCain was born, and last I checked, you have to be born in the United States to run for President.


He was born on an American military installation if I am not mistaken, so that is considered United States soil.
