The late Senator John
McCain probably should have retired 15 years ago. Senators with brain cancer
simply have impaired judgment. The brain doesn’t support thought in the same
way with cancer as it does without. Probably the subconscious is altered
substantially.
Fox news decided to award
a medal of honor to the late Senator for being a P.O.W. and staying in the
Hanoi Hilton even when his North Vietnamese captors tortured him to try to get
him to leave and go home. Plainly that is worthy of a medal of honor.
Yet medals all around
could be awarded to the congress just for being there to debate renaming the Russell Office Building McCain Senate Office Building
Senator McCain’s legacy of
disregarding flight instructions to get to low and shot down, breaking his jaw
while escaping his aircraft, being bayoneted by a Vietnamese soldier and being
tortured into leaving which he refused was far beyond the conduct of his fellow
p.o.w.s Maybe all of those people incarcerated by the enemy should get medals
for valor from the Congress and a nice check too.
The Russell Office Build
should be renamed the McKinley Office Building, or the Martin Luther King
Office Building, or the Robert F. Kennedy Office Building and John McCain
should just get an aircraft carrier with his name on it. It he is flying around
anywhere in spirit, he might land on that.
