Marine Maj Hackett:McCain flew in airplanes,what the hell does he know about foxholes

Paul appeared on the "Colbert Report" on August 3rd. When asked "who would you rather be in a foxhole with: Nancy Pelosi or John McCain," Paul stunned the crowd and the host by saying "McCain flew in airplanes, what the hell does he know about a foxhole."

Paul Hackett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marine Major Paul Hackett 1
John McCain 0

Yeah i saw a thing on the military channel about it.

When he crashed his parachute didnt open until right before he hit a lake. He broke both his arms, some ribs, and both his legs. He had to pull his life preserver with his teeth to float to the surface. When they were hauling him on shore he was held over their heads and people were stabbing him from below.

He was real close to death really. I think he was there for about a year. Its a suprise he survived actually.

If you come from a patriotic family, you don't ask questions or criticize.

I would prefer to not try it. Especially if it is yet another conflict that involves an imperialist agenda with no plan to win or accomplish anything productive. I would not volunteer to serve for a "tie" that does not involve the direct defense of this nation. I admire John McCain for his service and it is remarkable he lived. I have a great respect for him for that... but I will not "try it" like he did. If that makes him more of a patriot, so be it.

a statement like that shows how little you understand about foreign policy. We don't need a pearl harbor to go to war everytime, maybe you could ask your friend wes clark about that
