Re: AC Re: don't listen to McCain
"...... His family is famous for being military fsckups (his granddaddy caused the worst US naval defeat in WW2)...... Wow, the haters are really digging deep, selectively, and completely incorrectly! McCain's father was a decorated submarine commander during WW2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_S._McCain_Jr.#World_War_II). Ironically, McCain's grandfather spent a large chunk of his WW1 service on the cruiser USS Colorado trying to avoid being sunk by German submarines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_S._McCain_Sr.#Early_career_and_World_War_I)! Not scared of a challenge, "Slew" McCain decided to try for naval aviator training, a tough and selective challenge for any recruit, graduating the course aged 52. Slew then showed his leadership abilities at Guadacanal where his command included the "Cactus Airforce". At the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Slew's decision to turn around and attack the Japanese fleet that was threatening to over-run the smaller "Taffy 3" fleet of escort carriers caused the Japanese to abandon the action and withdraw.
Maybe you should read more actual history and less Dummicrat propaganda sites.
