I"m biased. No question. But it has nothing to do with little green army men. My family knows first hand what the POWs in Vietnam endured.
McCain comes from a breed who pens things like this (NOT AN ASPIRING POLITICIAN):
I was deeply moved by the warmth and sincerity of all the wonderful people who
welcomed us home and witnessed our "rebirth". Seeing grown men's eyes colored
with tears and hearing women speak to me as if I were their returning son
reinforced my belief in the ultimate kindness of the American people and that
America is truly the greatest country of all. The honor was mine to be
permitted to serve my country.
The torture, the abuse, the isolation and yet through it all ... a humility ... a sense of being priveleged to serve. Far from "PROUD", but humbled to be American. Far from a sense of entitlement or anything resembling that.During my imprisonment my faith in God, country and man was confirmed and
strengthened by the wonderful way in which my fellow prisoners conducted
themselves in the face of extreme physical and mental deprivation and
pressure. The foundation of genuine and altruistic support given us as POWs by
the American people sustained and encouraged us throughout the long years.
I admire these men. They represent the best qualities of us(human beings) in the worst of situations.
I admire and respect Obama, but not as much as these men, men like McCain. Hence Man to Man, McCain wins on my scoresheet.
