Jimmy Carter has alleged that John McCain is "milking his POW experience" for his advantage in the presidential campaign. This just plain ticks me off. And, it does so for two reasons:
1. First, John McCain was a prisoner of war while fighting for our country. In my view, he can talk about that 24/7 if he wants to. If you disagree with me, go spend 18 months being tortured by Vietnamese soldiers and see how you feel about it;
2. Second, McCain really isn't milking it at all. The only thing Carter could point to to prove his argument was ONE interview that lasted ONE HOUR. So, Carter doesn't even really know what he's talking about. McCain isn't talking enough about his POW experience as far as I'm concerned. Have people forgotten that we're at war? Don't you think military experience might help a future commander in chief? Maybe, just maybe?
Look Jimmy, you can disagree with McCain's politics, and I'll still respect you. But if YOU have no respect for a man that gave up his freedom for yours, then you need to just shut the he!! up.
