And now, John Sidney McCain, III is a corpse in a morgue awaiting his state burial. It is as it should be, perhaps for the first time in his entire life.
McCain – the holy terror of teenager and Naval Academy cadet, mad pilot and poster child for the horrors of the towering enemy we faced for our very survival as a Republic in Vietnam, and political animal for much of his life – clearly was not at home in this world.
In a world filled with people who are all pretty much accountable on a daily basis for their decisions, choices, actions, and for the pain they have and are causing, John McCain was missing from his post.
Instead, as a son of a successful Naval commander, he path was not entirely his own, and yet he did, repeatedly, choose that path. His biggest tragedy may have been that he was the namesake of a distinguished military family. Certainly the life of his younger brother Joe Pinckney McCain is a testament to how being born into service of the state doesn’t have to result in the deaths of so many for so long.

Gotta love it when all the so called Vietnam vet's come here a say what a Hero John McCain was. Are they really veterans?? Or more of the know NOTHING shorebillies who only believe what they hear? Fact or not? It's been FACT that John McCain is. Was. And always will be AN EMBARRASSMENT. Just look at his congressional record. Besides his so called Hero status for being a little spoiled rich kid of an admiral. John McCain was no Hero. He was a complete and utter failure. In BOTH military and civilian life.
