Default McCain in '08

Ted Guy was attacking McCain's POW experience. Dan Luke referred to it
in
this very thread. See


Ted Guy has been dead for over seven years. He was a PoW in Vietnam, and
did
not use his experience to boost his own political career. Are you saying
that
the late Ted Guy, is a liar?


I'm not qualified to say one way or the other. That's my point.

Ted Guy may have been a POW, and so his observations on the matter -IF
TRUTHFUL- have value. But everybody who used them for political purposes
(whether challenging directly or just 'letting people read for themselves')
is of questionable political integrity as far as I'm concerned.

Also, I'm not sure how "his own political career" has anything to do with
it. Conceivably he could have been working for somebody else. Not all
veterans are saints.
