His grandfather came back from WW2 so exhausted that he died the next day...
and that war was only 4 years long...

McCain is OK with unending war in Iraq, Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran, neverending troop redeployments, AND doesn't want to give vets any help once they get back...

Does he see the ironiy here (though I don't know if that is even the proper word), or is it just me??!?!?

2. His grandfather was in WWII? Bullshit, my dad fought in WWII
and McCain has 20 years on me.

4. Isn't that what he said in the seech, that his grandfather was an admiral,
came back from WW2, and died the next day...

Admirals are pretty old I'd assume...

5. I don't get it.
He says he "hates war," but yet wants to continue it in the middle east. Since he was a POW & endured such a horrible experience, wouldn't he NOT want anybody else to have to suffer that?
