McCain's "Experience"

Everyone keeps praising McCain's "experience" that supposedly qualifies him to lead our country. This man was brutally tortured in the dungeons of Vietnam. During his captivity he spoke of the need to execute all of those American prisoners who dared co-operate with their captors or express anti-war views. Upon his return he blamed (and still continues to uphold this argument) the antiwar movement in the US with weakening the US resolve and eventually causing the country to cede Vietnam to the Communists. Do you really want someone with this kind of "experience" to lead our country?

He is certainly a man who should be given highest military honors for his suffering and should be shown respect, but his traumatic experience raises serious doubts about his fitness to be the commander-in-chief.
