Unless I am mistaken, only the top ten percent of any military academy are selected for pilot training (unless of course, daddy and granddaddy were Admirals). Of those selected for pilot training, only the top ten percent are assigned to fighter aircraft (again, unless daddy and granddaddy were Admirals). McCain got to where he was due to political pull and in his day, his personnel file was probably stamped with “PP” (meaning political pull) in large red letters. If I am wrong in these assertions, please accept my mea culpa in advance, I’m not in the mood for frivolous discourse on the subject.

As a RINO, he is the darling of the liberal media and the Democrat Party largely because he constantly bucking the party to which he supposedly belongs. He showed his true character after returning from Viet Nam by dumping the family which stood by him during his ordeal and “marrying rich!” JFK II (who by the way also served in Viet Nam) did the same thing, and went one better when he dumped millionaire number one for someone even richer.

p>I am all in favor of giving credit where credit is due but, except for the sick desire to destroy this country, I’m afraid McCain deserves little credit for anything, having done nothing positive during his tenure in the Senate. br> — C.D. Lueders br> Melbourne, Florida /p>
