It takes courage to fly planes off and on aircraft carriers. After the Forrestal accident, McCain could have passed on another combat assignment. He didn't. As a POW, he turned down an early release offer because it would have sent him home before people captured before him. As a politician he's famous (and infamous sometimes) for being willing to go against his party. He wanted to be admiral....admirals don't take early releases or refuse combat assignments. Regardless of whether he had ambitions or not, he possessed the virtue of courage and honor. And he is no party maverick......the only thing he seems to have taken a stand on that's different from the rest of the party was the evangelicals. And now he's in lockstep with them. There is actually a lot of other things he's departed from conservatives on. I note the Democratic VP candidate thinks highly of McCain: “I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off.”
