Kerry's Service vs McCain's Service

Kerry served honorably during the Vietnam War.  Kerry did not talk about his service much because of a medical issue he had, this got him in hot water because the Republican's decided to lie about his service.  That medical problem causes nightmares and undo stress on a person, it is called PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Obviously a POW (Prisoner of War) should have PTSD.  McCain was a POW.  He seems to have no trouble bringing this fact up: feel sorry for me, the poor POW, who stayed for his men.  If he has no problems with his service or does not have a medical problem that prevents him from speaking out, then it is time for people to stand up and say, "Who Cares? We know. How does that make you a better choice for President?" 

Do we need a veteran that was tortured as president?  McCain who was against torture, by the way,  is now in favor of it's use during interrogations.  Maybe he liked being in Captivity? Maybe he gets off on people getting hurt? This man wants more war.  That sounds sick.  Nobody should want war or to continue a war that has no purpose to the American Public.  

It is okay to be a veteran if you are Republican? Right.  If you are a Democrat it is okay to have your service lied about, according to the Republicans.  Well, you know what, it was not okay and there should be an apology to Kerry.
