"I served under John McCain, Naval Attack Squadron VA 174 at Cecil Field, he was the XO at the time. I also met Randy "Duke" Cunningham a real hero. While military service says much about leadership and citizenship, it does not always translate into good decision making, case in point both Cunningham and John McCain. Cunningham was convicted of crimes while in office and went to jail and McCain's recent proposal and support for bringing in more HB1 workers to take the place of our citizens and for amnesty for foreign nationals that have deliberately broken our immigration laws is a slap in the face to our unemployed citizens, the value of citizenship itself and is close to treason."
Benedict Arnold was a hero in his younger days. Exemplary military service does not preclude one from being a fool or a crook in later years.
