We must respect the devotion to duty that the "Clan McCain" continues to display.

Coming from an Army family myself I do feel an automatic identification with the seemingly declining number of politicians who make service a priority in their personal lives and those of their families. This was a cause of some closeted admiration for the "Good Republican" Secretary Webb who unseated Senator McCacka of Virginia (No really that's how history will record it), & his family's dedication to our constitution.

Yes I admire them all even if their service is nautical in nature.

Significantly I cannot abide politicisation of patriotism and that is what the media makes of these examples, unfortunately.

I appreciate your posting this as a study in the difference between politicianship & leadership.
