Who cares what MCCain has to say on the matter. There are several present and past congressmen that served in Vietnam that support the Swiftboat vets and GW. Mccain is just one. Kerry made it a point to completely ignore is 20 year Senate record because it is the most liberal based on his voting record. That record will not sell in Iowa. So he decided in a time of war to sell his record in Vietnam and it is the hill he will die on as a presidential candidate. Either Vietnam was a travesty and a mistake as Kerry has maintained for 30 years or it was the right thing to do. Since he now firmly sits on both sides of the fence we need some serious answers. Which one was it John? This is a major major character issue that you cannot sluff off with a counter like well what did GW do? Did you serve in the militray liberal dodge.
