I think it was 1970 when a small white box came to me in the mail.
Inside was a POW bracelet. This was important to me, as I watched the older
boys in the neighborhood go off to Vietnam, and many came back in boxes.
As a young boy, this was not a good impression, and I feared being drafted and killed after
going to too many funerals.
The POW Bracelet was a symbol, then, I didnt understand. Mine had John McCains name on it.
I did not know who he was, and didnt make the connection until 20 Plus years later.
While as a politician, I respected his position when I disagreed, because he made that difference respectable too.
My memories of his politics pale, to the sleepless nights rubbing that bracelet, for someone I did not know, doing something I feared, and did not understand at the time.
It produced many young emotions that hang deep inside me to this day.
RIP.

On social media are "believers" of:

He was a War Criminal Pardoned by Nixon
He gave away Major US Secrets when Captured, and was the "leader" of doing so.
His Personal life was the worst of any Politician.
He was a Traitor.
He was a Democrat.

Sad.

I dont, Some do.....it was just a way for me to share why there may be some negative posts....
I was curious as to why?

Thanks.....I am receiving some minor work for watching a few dozen sites for a company
that those "results", perhaps, are different than the viewing habits of others.

Easy enough today to take a polarized position, not so easy to see both sides.
