OK, I have a question. How was John McCain serving his country when he was 17?
I just saw his new ad, and I heard for the umpteenth time that he has been serving the country since he was 17. He was born in 1936, which would put make him 17 years old in 1953. He graduated from the Naval Academy in 1958.
So, was he serving the country in high school? And was he serving the country while he was in the Naval Academy? I thought he was getting "educated" on the tax-payer's dime during that time. He surely wasn't knocking himself out academically (at least I hope he wasn't trying his hardest, considering his very low standing in his graduating class).
Does anyone ever challenge his stuff?
Even without the "serving ever since he was 17" -- the question I want someone to ask him is this:
You say you have been tested. What test have you passed?
Crashing your plane and being a POW is not a test of Presidential mettle. I repeat. What test did you have that you have passed?
Everyone is afraid to challenge him on this because of the POW issue; Wesley Clark is the only person I have seen effectively challenge this absurd notion, and even Barack Obama disavowed him for it. Clark was right.
