The Candidates Debate


Did you watch the first debate between John McCain and Barack Obama? I caught every word, and can't say there were any knockout punches or major surprises. Neither one struck me as someone who would be out of place in the White House. One thing that does bother me is when a politician - even one with excellent credibility among veterans - brings up the prospect of American soldiers making sacrifices "in vain" if a mission fails. No soldier's sacrifice should ever be considered in vain. Soldiers bravely try to accomplish a mission delegated to them - a mission often assigned by others far from harm's way.
