I think you are taking to extremes. I'm not saying that your family member should never mention it, but it's likely that he's not trying to ride that pony into the White House. He, like a lot of others, paid a price for his service. I never said that one shouldn't talk about their experiences, if they chose to do so.
I had the absolute priviledge to work for the military for 30+ years. You can twist it any way you want to, but you won't find anyone prouder of our men and women in uniform than me. And if John McCain wants to say "I'm a veteran" that's fine -- but don't endless wrap him in the flag and act like he's something special because he's not.
I think he used that Petty Officer in the audience at the debate the other night and frankly, it made me sick.
And before someone makes some nasty comment at my having fed at the public trough, may I remind you that John McCain has fed at that very same trough for almost as long.

I hate it when you try to twist my words, because I know you understand what I say.
