Sir Prick; I don't trust the hand that feeds me, so not only do I ignore "it", I would bite it.

In order to go into combat you have to understand combat.
Do you really want someone in command who has no first knowledge of war?
War has been ongoing since the beginning of time and will probably be the destruction of man, there will always be war.

If your Captain America has been in combat, pity help you when he finally brings his war baggage home.
And don't be lulled into a false sense of security by any lull before the storm. Often it takes a decade, or even more, before the lost steamer trunk of memories finally lobs on your doostep.

Please do tell me something I don't know.
But, how can an individual send others into combat when they have no idea what combat is?

Your an idiot of course. He want in command of anything but his plane. It is further indication of your total lack of knowledge of any of this shit to think a a single soldier had any overall kwoldge of the polciys or plans of teh General and Flag officers running any war.
MCcain has shown no he has not the cognitive abilty to learn from the war in general or even his personal experinces to shove men in the same situation he was in.

Don't ask me, girl. I'm still asking how anyone who really knows what combat is could, in all consciousness, send anyone else into it!

I've watched soldiers (past and present) in the media, giving testimony about their service and how it has affected them, and none seem to gorify war in any way. Moreover, it brings much emotion and true relief that they made it through it, that I would think ex-combat veterans are the most likely to see going to war, or staying in one, as an absolute last choice.
So Les, as a veteran, do you agree with that?
