    Former POW on McCain

    Yet another Email. Actually watching this video and how one sided it is, I thought, "wow, McCain must've done something to piss this guy off". It definitely appears biased.

    Interesting History though.

    Very smart, well educated man speaking in this video. Seems to be a person worth listening to.

    On the other hand, he also sounds a little bitter that McCain has gotten the "heroes" attention because of his public life. He mentions that McCain was "easily angered" while staying in the Vietnamese prison....that he didn't seem like the type of guy he'd want with "his finger on the red button" during a time of crisis. Correct me if I'm wrong but, wouldn't ANYONE be "easily angered" if their accomodations were the Hanoi Hilton?

    Ummm... I heard him say that McCain was "easily angered" while a student at the Naval Academy and that was a well known fact. He also mentioned that he lived across the hall from him there.

    I can't hear the video, but I do know that almost all young guys seem to "anger easily", IMO. My dad has said that he "angered easily" when he was young, and yet, I have never seen him in a mood, since I have known him, that I would describe as angry.

    I think anyone claiming otherwise would be blowing smoke up our asses

    I agree. My dad is the same way.

    If Mr. McCain had the opportunity I wonder what he'd have to say about that gentlemen? I'm fairly positive that if any of us were in the "public eye" someone could go out and find a person from our past that would gladly slam us in this same manner. They'd have no problem in my case!
