McCain and vietnam
will someone pls explain to me how someone who volunatily spent 5 years in jail, backed two losing wars which we have admitted were terrible mistakes (vietnam and iraq) makes him an expert in foreign policy?
I would admire him more if he had taken the opportunity to leave then started a propaganda blitz against the north vietnamese for their inhumane treatment of prisoners (we cant do that any more now - we are the princes of torture). Are americans so easily fooled by slogans and idiotic ass kissing of the flag?
