Day 53

John Mc Cain was an American military hero as were the thousands of young American men drafted by our politicians to die in the jungles of Viet Nam. You be the judge, who best deserves the central place of honor?  My opinion is that those who lost their lives in service to their country should be honored as the best of America.  The surviving war fighters receiving continuing honors do so mostly because they are alive and able to collect.  This may be more about the short attention span of we the judges than the honors due John McCain.

Post war, the political career of John McCain was marked by the same personal quality that preserved him through many years of captivity, a dogged individualism.  He was not a team player.  My best guess is that he relished to a greater degree the pivotal podium than to be a team player.  As a team player, the one becomes one of the many.  

John bucked heads with every president and ducked between the Democratic and Republican teams, seemingly fancying himself as a bridge builder.  You be the judge, what were the motives of his political life?  I would like an audit of his personal finances surrounding his pivotal vote in defeating the Republican Healthcare bill just before his death.  Why did he dish out that defeat?  Was he motivated by the never Trump establishment or was it money to set up his family after his death.  

There is nothing heroic about either scenario.
