McCain criticizes Obama's lack of military service

McCain criticizes Obama's lack of military service

McCain retired from the military and receives $59,000 each year from the Navy.

He served Congress for many years and he'll probably earn more than that from their pension.

McCain was a war hero and served 5 1/2 years as a captive of the North Vietnamese, which had to be an unpleasant experience and where he was severely tortured several times.

His father and grandfather rose to the rank of Admiral, but Senator McCain knew for some reason he was not on the list for Admiral so he quit. I would like to know why he was passed over from promotion.

He has a reputation for being a maverick. It has been said that he broke the rules so often at Annapolis that he had to do many punishment tours to make up for it. I'd like to know what kind of rules he casually broke.

I find it curious that he tries to separate his great family wealth even though his wife is worth $100 million dollars. I would like to know the lifestyle the McCain's have had. How many homes do they have? What kind of cars do they have? How many servants do they employ? What kinds of things do they splurge on?

Personally I think he did enough for his country and should retire.
