I really hate to disagree with my president but he misstated himself.  John didn't just disrespect his people in Arizona, he disrespected the people of the US. 

John McCain.  You probably won't see this but sometimes when things are broken they can't be fixed.  So when you can't fix something what do you do?  You throw it away and start over.  You burn it essentially and up from the ashes comes success.  

The health care system certainly does need fixing but this last effort threw the baby out with the bath water.  So, stop digging in your heals and maintaining that you can fix the unfixable.  

When you cashed your aircraft in Vietnam that landed you in the Hanoi Hilton, could that aircraft have been fixed?  As a pilot you should intuitively know that. By the way, sir, and I do have respect for you, you are no hero of Vietnam, you are simply like many of the rest of us, you are a SURVIVOR.  The real heroes didn't come back and those who did saved many lives risking their own.
