Re: The 2008 Presidential Elections - Chapter 2
McCain's campaign and the press has generally kept silent on the issue, for good reason. I don't know if it occurred to you that publicizing Jimmy McCain's service in Iraq might have posed a security threat. It would have been tremendously insensitive on John McCain's part to exploit his son's service for political gains if it would add even the slightest danger to Jimmy and the other Marines serving with him.
Unlike Bush, who has no trouble sending other people's children off to war but not his own.
Not that John McCain's son's contributions to the military excuses the Senator for dragging his foot on supporting the GI Bill. With the multi-million dollar fortune that Cindy McCain is sitting on, the McCain boys don't have to worry about their future after they get out of the military. But what about all the other brave servicemen and women who weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth?
