John McCain never saw a war that he didn't want Americans fighting and dying in.

Or a bank not worth bailing out.

I'm sorry, how many bombers did you personally stop from bombing children in Laos?

None? Oh, you didn't even take an aircraft carrier out of commission during the vietnam war?

Edit: In case somebody didn't get the joke, Mccaine was a terrible pilot who crashed 2 planes and was involved in an incident that took a carrier out of commission and killed almost 200 soldier.

There's not a lot of people who directly did as much to slow the American war machine as Mccaine's incompetence.
