On military matters, I usually give John McCain the benefit of the doubt, because he is a true American hero, and I would never question his support for the troops. He has tested my beliefs, recently. When the senator was asked if he had an estimate for when the US troops might leave Iraq he said “No, that's not too important” he went onto say "what's important is casualties in Iraq.” Giving McCain the benefit of the doubt still does not explain why, third or forth tours are not that important. It is to the troops and their families. That comparison to South Korea and Germany is not resonating with me. This is the Middle East or the sandbox as the soldiers call it,is not a place where a soldier can roam Baghdad unharmed. Religion does not play a big role, when there is violence in South Korea or Germany. Ten casualties this month this month, with four to be identified, and when we withdraw is not important?
Perhaps...
