I dunno Joe. My boss flew umpteen A6 missions in 'nam. The difference between
him and McCain is that he didn't loose his aircraft and hence didn't have to
spend time in prison. In short, my boss was a success while McCain was a
failure. I wouldn't necessarily vote for my boss for president, much less
McCain.
