Touching. Very touching. John McCain says he was “mistreated” by a guard. I’m sickened and shocked, and I cry out for justice. But not for McCain. I want us just once to pay heed to that small voice deep inside us – we must have a collective conscience. We must know this stuff on some level!
John McCain was shot down while bombing civilians and their infrastructure in North Vietnam. He was violating the Geneva Conventions. The North Vietnamese could have hanged him and still have stood two rungs above him on the moral ladder. At least two.
Yet he’s a hero in America, and an example for our kids. God I love this country.
