Via Brave New Films:

Maybe we should stop torturing "the enemy?"

If you are invested in something, you like it more. If you are taking care of something or working for something, you become more identified with it or attached to it. And it gave him a reason for suffering--helped it make sense. Probably in the beginning he was in the military because of family expectations or a personal sense of adventure, but those reasons aren't enough when it gets bad.

Nothing in America had earned the Adult John McCain's love in the 31 years before he was shot down? Nothing? Not winning the Second World War? Not our regular and orderly transitions of power based on the rule of law? Not freeing millions of Jews from the Nazi's? Not the fact that we feed and defend the world? Not that we lead in science and technology research? Not even when McCain graduated from the United States Naval Academy? Not even McCain's grandfather and father who were admirals in the United States Navy taught him to love America? Nothing?

Not even the fact that McCain was able to use his fathers position as an Admiral in the Navy to guarantee he became a naval aviator even though he had graduated 4th from the bottom at the USNA?

Not the fact that we saved the entire world from the Japanese Empire had made John McCain at the age of 31 love his country in his entire adult life?

The point is that McCain had plenty of things to love before his time as a POW.

How sad. I certainly don't want this blind pessimist as commander in chief of the USA.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

the old gander ain't worthy of. :crazy:
