The Wrestling Talk Forums - View Single Post - McCain wants America in Iraq because of Vietnam

Politicians... McCain included, go to extremes to say what they think will get them votes.

As a Vietnam vet I don't see McCain's experience any more or less harrowing than any other veteran of that atrocity. Some made it home... many (58,000+) didn't. Some, even today, are still trying to cope and make sense of it all.

Our continuously growing "ME" society results in many being unable to see past what works for their vision of a rapidly depreciating American dream.

American voters, liberals and conservatives alike, don't have a clue or concern about the state of the union in 50 years. Many of us won't be around to worry about it. The rest are focused on what works for them, individually.
