McCain's son to join Marine Corps
The youngest son of Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, will soon report for duty in the Marine Corps, Time magazine reported yesterday.
Jimmy McCain, 18, will spend three months in boot camp in California this fall and another month in specialized training.
Depending on his unit, Jimmy McCain eventually could be deployed to Iraq where Marines have experienced heavy fighting, Time reported. Marines are also in combat in Afghanistan.
"I'm obviously very proud of my son," the Arizona Republican told Time, "but also understandably a little nervous."
Mr. McCain's other son, Jack, attends the U.S. Naval Academy.

Good for him! I wish him the best.

Semper Fi. That young man is about to join a different breed of Americans who well understand that Freedom isnt Free. Godspeed to the young McCain.

It seems like few politicians have served in the military anymore and fewer still have kids who do. Kudos to the father and his son for serving this Country. A nice change from that dumbass Murtha puke.
Stand in the door!

I saw McCaine during the hearings as he was talking to Gen Abizaid. I like McCaine, but he seems to be hinting at pushing blame on the military commanders instead of the President. It looked like everyone was lost and frustrated about the mess we're in. I have much less trust in Rumsfeld, the more I see him talk now.
