I stand corrected. Yes, McCain was a navy pilot who spent a long time in the Hanoi Hilton, which I forgot about.
Graduated from Annapolis which means he became an officer by an act of congress.
I preferred officers who were there by the grace of God and came up through the ranks and officer candidate school. Much less snobby than the ones who got their rank from a recommendation letter with the signature of some high muckety muck.
And now he's a polititard, earning that title almost daily.
