"ITS A RICH MANS WAR AND A POOR MANS FIGHT"
I think our service members should be honored because the vast majority enlist with the most honorable of intentions. Even more - after those intentions have been abused by those in power waging useless wars and use them as pawns by claiming people disrespect them when in fact we disrespect the fact that they get shoved into harms way for no good reason.
when some like John McCain puff up their experiences and make phoney claims like saying he turned down early release when the Vietnamese learned he was the son of an Admiral when in FACT in his own personal account in 1973 he said the Vietnamese refused medical treatment until they learned his dad was an Admiral which was within DAYS of his capture. His claim of "country before self" in his case turns out to be a lie http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/2008/01/28/john-mccain-prisoner-of-war-a-first-person-account.html?PageNr=1 Also the code of honor dictates you DONT give aid to the enemy. He made some 60 propaganda broadcasts for the Vietnamese. Why are they stashed away?
Quote from his personal account:
Sometime later, "The Bug" came rushing into the room, shouting, "Your father is a big admiral;
now we take you to the hospital."
you will also discover that he lied when he claimed the "cross in the sand" story. In his account he mentions Christmas 5 times but NEVER the "Cross in the sand"! Why would it take him until he wrote his book some 25 years later to "remember"?
Furthermore i have the GREATEST respect for the Vets that are without limbs and homeless with dwindling help from the likes of McCain who is collecting 100% disability while living between 10 homes
