McNUTT McCain just threw Powell under the Bus, that Powell who was told to take the information he was given by the Bush presidency. McCain who supported everything Bush did, now thinks Powell was a bad person, of course it only happened after Powell came out for Obama for president, two times.

With all due respect for McCain and his war service and the fact that he was held prisoner so long I always gave him a lot of slack. But he was not the only prisoner of war and the others just went home when they finally were freed and did what they could to pickup on their lives where they left off. My cousin, Bud, was in a B-17 shot to pieces over France and managed to bail out and get down in one piece only to become a German Prisoner for over two years. His health was ruined and he came home, went to college, got a degree and a job and worked until his death at the age of 62. He was one of thousands. So McCain did better than most just because of who he was in addition. But he has drifted a long way off course in recent years so I tightened-up the slack and have lost a lot of respect for him as an individual.

Absolutely, Gramps. When he started using his PoW experience as a "qualification" for the WH, especially considering his entire military record, he lost any respect I had for him.

My Father in Law was in stalag 116 on the Baltic sea

& the reason he wound up there as punishment was that his division "Normadie" surrendered in Belgium after Dunkirk, but my Father in Law eluded capture & managed to get back into France, but then when General Petain surrenderd in June 16 my Father in Law's group kept going & was captured two days later June 18, 1940.

When he died back in April 2008, the French military war veterans gave him a heart rendering ceremony that only the French can render in grandeur & soberness & that we all treasure & talk about in the family.

Best Regards
