1. Did he do everything he could to avoid being shot down? (Or maybe he LIKED the idea of sitting out the war in the Hanoi Hilton?)

2. Did he learn to speak any Vietnamese words when he was in captivity?

3. Did he claim NOT to support the war while he was there?

4. How MANY NVA prisoners were swapped for him, and how important were they? Did we make a lousy deal?

and most importantly...

5. DID HIS FATHER HAVE A BEARD? (Yeah, I know. His father was an Admiral who wore a uniform. But a lot of NVA soldiers wear uniforms too, so....Hmmmm....)

If there is any time a man fooled the public it is McCain. Some of my research about John McCain in those early years in the military show the character of a klutz.

McCain was a key participant in the most tragic naval accident in the history of the American Navy back then. Besides his father was the Admiral Commander of the fleet during the Vietnam war. McCain around this time was a magnet for screwed up actions and decisions.

My own observations McCain as a young flight officer with an arrogance in disobedience took a Skyhawk in maneuvers over North Vietnam when he should not have done it. There are observations the ejection system is what really busted up McCain not torture. If not strapped in correctly a pilot could likely have his spinal system busted up.

Yes, many could say with the same impression and media cover up to devoted dissonance given about Bergdahl being a traitor,

McCain was about the same bewildered young man not listening to orders doing what he pleased because his father was top Commander of the Navy forces in the Vietnam theater.

Please understand that my personal view of McCain are from facts that are not published in the mainstream media, the everyday news that perhaps interviews by Brian Williams or other iconic Journalist are far from the truth.

Especially the same for George Bush follows the same pattern of media cover up happenings during his stint with the Air force National Guard. Here is a man that did get his records scrubbed for being AWOL the ultimate in national press cover up.

Early on George Bush learned how to cheat the public in knowing about bogus military decisions and judgments could get by in getting those records scrubbed to keep hidden from the public and used that key maneuvering in 911 era. Both of these political families fit like an O.J. Simpson glove.

Ground zero is Bush treason…

The sad thing is almost 60 million Americans voted for the crazyass duo. Maybe someone should be asking if these 60 million people are sane.
