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. 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. I have yet to see anything that makes McCain impressive. Mostly I see a rather shallow man who tells gross jokes and is verging on senility.
