On the Republican side much is made, in ads and other venues, of McCain’s military experience. His heroism as a navy pilot, being shot down, captured and tortured in a Viet Cong prison, deserves all the credit and gratitude we can possibly give. However, my understanding of the military is that soldiers, sailors and pilots are supposed to FOLLOW orders, not give them. His experiences resulted in well deserved medals and tributes from a grateful nation.
