Not John McCain, say some military leaders: "I think his knee-jerk response factor is a little scary."
  • No NOT John Mc Cain

    I can not imagine how any thinking person could vote for John Mc Cain. If we think that Bush is a War President he will look like a pink pussy cat compared to Mc Cain! Why would any rational person think that 5 years in a Vietnam prisoner of war camp would make him good Presidential material I will never know! To be in a Vietnam prison camp would change anyone forever! Does he have PTSD? I would bet yes! Has he had intense and real psychotherapy for that? HAS HE EVER READ AT HELL'S GATE..WRITTEN BY A NAM VET- CLAUDE THOMAS... IT SAYS IT ALL.

    If he loses his temper easily is that the human being we want to be able to be in charge of a Country that is already at war? Not to mention he is 72 years old and is from a very old school of thought!

    I also noted that his spouse has a very guarded look as she stands beside him. My guess is that she has experienced his temper.

    The fact that George Bush has endorsed him so that the war will continue is also every reason not to vote for this man!

    How many more young people have to be permanently maimed in war either psychologically or bodily or both?

    Do we know that the largest population of older homeless men on the streets of America are Vietnam Vets! All these years later these men who *served their country* are still suffering from PTSD. A sad Commentary!

    My best friend is a Nam vet and I have spoken with many men from Vietnam. War is hell! No one survives a war unscathed!

    Pay attention folks or we will all reap a very disasterous future!
