He has my respect, but not my vote.
Using your reasoning, the men and women killed or wounded in a war in Iraq, that is as senseless as the one in Vietnam, are failures, too.
He was only doing what he had been ordered to do, flying bombing missions over North Vietnam, when his plane was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile while Bush was skipping Air National Guard meetings in Alabama.
He could have been released as a POW five years earlier than he was if he had allowed the position of his father to be used, as Bush did his father's, to totally escape combat duty.
