I think he's nuts. But then, this shithole of a state is run by republicunts and none of them are worth a fuck.
John McCain is the son of a 4 star Admiral and the grandson of another 4 star Admiral. Both of his flag ranked ancesters were amongst the most distinguished naval officers of their time, and each achieved the pinnacle of naval careers and were entrusted with high command and responsibility for whole US fleets in times of war.
John McCain himself, on the other hand, graduated 894th out of class of 899 at Annapolis. The most John McCain was ever trusted to command was a aircraft training squadron. While he was assigned as navy liason to congress he made good use of his time by divorcing his crippled wife in order to marry conservative Beer Heiress Carol Hensley. He retired from the Navy as a mere Captain in 1981 because he was not considered admiral material and was informed that he had little prospect for further promotion.
I think in the twilight of his life John McCain is haunted by the fact that his war related career achievement fell so far short of those of his father and grand father. If he can't be be judged competent to lead American forces in a war, by god he would use political means to lead American forces into a war to compensate.
