Dear Greta:

Maybe you can write some nice columns on these issues?

You seem to have lots of good ideas.

But, then again, maybe you couldn’t handle the criticism. It’s easy to carp from the sidelines.

P.S.: Yes, the article should have been edited but the guy is in his 80s and lives in an apartment, and this site isn’t supposed to be “professional.

P.S. 2: The author was a full professor at a top research university. You’re saying you are a better thinker than he is? Let’s see the proof.

So many of my generation served or lost fathers, brothers, sons in Vietnam…all for naught as the Communists here undermined our efforts to keep their buddies from enslaving North Vietnamese peoples.

If McCain so readily betrays the Republican party he likely turned traitor to his fellow POW’s. He averts his gaze or blows up at the suggestion he ratted out his fellows, betrayed them, and accepted special privileges. The lengths McCain has gone to keep the truth from the American people is evidence of his cooperation with his North Vietnamese captors. What better way to cover one’s past than to abandon brothers in arms to the enemy to be murdered or die slow deaths in a remote jungle prison camp?

If McCain is complicit in any cover up he and anyone else involved should be prosecuted for treason. I further believe we must return to hanging for treason.
Sure, as a Republican, I voted for McCain…but physically held my nose as I pulled the lever. National hero? National shame and disgrace!

Just finished reading IMPOSSIBLE ODDS by Jessica Buchanon an American aid worker; about her capture by Somali kidnappers and her experience being held over 90 days under terrible conditions along with a Danish aid worker.
These two individuals had come to Somalia to help the people of that impoverished paradise (I wouldn’t say S**thole). They were abused physically and emotionally, denied proper food and water or medical care while outrageous demands for ransom were made. They were finally rescued by SEAL Team 6.
Be sure to watch the movie CAPTAIN PHILLIPS, then ask yourself if you’d like to take your next vacation in Somalia…
Do were really need more people like the Somali pirates and kidnappers here?
