John McCain
War is awful. Nothing, not the valor with which it is fought nor the nobility of the cause it serves, can glorify war. War is wretched beyond description and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality. Whatever is won in war, it is loss the veteran remembers.
John McCain

John McCain
I don't doubt the sincerity of my Democratic friends. And they should not doubt ours.
