re: #360 Anymouse

I would be empathetic to Senator McCain (but I am not). The most charitable explanation I can give is that he simply lost sight of what’s happened to military and veterans in the long time since he left the Navy himself.

He wanted to be an admiral, like his father and grandfather before him. He was on track to being the oldest captain in the Navy before the penny dropped that he was not going to be promoted again, ever, and he resigned his commission for Republican wingnut welfare and a Senator’s salary.
