WASHINGTON — From his five years in a North Vietnamese prison camp to his tenure as the Navy’s liaison to the Senate, John McCain’s Navy record boils down to a series of unadorned paragraphs that bestow upon him some of the nation’s top military honors.

The Navy recently released McCain’s military record — most of it citations for medals during his Navy career — after a Freedom of Information Act request by The Associated Press.

Of course by the number of posts you guys are making we can tell how busy you are.

Barak Obama once killed a spider as big as your thumb. 

He cleared a paper jam from the law school's printer not once, but three times. 

And one time when his wife though she heard an intruder, Barak bravely and selflessly dialed 911.  It turned out to be a racoon. 

And of course, Hillary remains married to Bill (although for that, Bill should get the award for valor.) 

All in all, I'd say the candidates are about equally matched....

"...a Bronze Art Medal with a combat “V”..."

WTF is a "Bronze Art Medal"? Civilians! Even when they try to get the record straight, they screw up.

Very nice. John McCain is a true hero from the Vietnam War unlike that knucklehead who ran in 2004 and said he was reporting for duty. (Speaking of which, where's the results of the media FOIA request for John Kerry's Naval Records? Seems to me we would have had some results by now. )

Of course he would be disqualified for the good conduct medal.

Many of our brave troopers are honored with citations on their walls and walls in public places.

Billy Boy's citations are on the walls of rest rooms.

509 started this thread with the valor of McCain during difficult times.

Lets not lose sight of that.

It was an excellent read, 509.

All the way, sir!!!
