I doubt that if he is elected President that his son will be allowed by the Secret Service to continue in that capacity. <BR/><BR/>Regardless, part of the reason why McCain rarely talks about his son's service is that it's the McCain family business. Military service runs deep in that family.<BR/><BR/>This has also been cited as a concern by some...such as Bill Maher. I tend to agree with that to a degree.Jon Easterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463536746233150209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-24259703826930126862008-04-06T11:41:00.000-05:002008-04-06T11:41:00.000-05:00It speaks volumes about the man that he has not used such an obvious part of his private life to extol his political one. I have said it before, and will no likely say it a lot more, no one can detract, not Rush Limbaugh or Hillary/Barack from the many sacrifices this man has made in the cause of Liberty. If the 5 years in the Hanoi Hilton had never happened he still served his nation during wartime. Nothing ever replaces understanding war from the Oval Office like having bounced about in the ocean like George H.W. Bush, or sitting in confinement like John McCain. Agree or disagree with their particular political positions you can't take that service away. For that alone I hold Geo W. responsible for the nastiness of his campaign against the Senator in 2000.MissouriDemocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601903002852569236noreply@blogger.com
