The mercurial John McCain has had some very strange friendship over the years.One was Chuck Hagel who looks like McCain will not support for Sec, of Defense.Of course,there were both Vietnam vets,heroes of war that American would like forgot,McCain was of course a prison war for seven held in hell hole serving nation so well,a man honor and love country.Hagel and brother volunteer for Vietnam so McCain and Hagel were sense were brother in arms fighting the good ,doing there duty in chaotic domestic scene were honor and duty to nation wasn't respected.
So both men were drew to each other but ideology born out position of life separate men.For McCain come legacy of the military his father,indeed,his father's father were military men:while Hagel is child of mid-west,heritage so unlike McCain's,for Mid-West is steeped with distrust of foreign engagements and of military it's land of Robert Taft and Hagel at heart is Taft Republican and McCain is of the Regan era.
John Kerry,our new Sec. of State,is friend of John McCain,indeed,it's widely believe Kerry offer McCain V-P spot in 2004.But they weren't always friend.at first McCain hated Kerry the leader of Vietnam vets against the war,but time heals all and war protester and war hero become fast friends,indeed,a great human story the story of wounded warriors making peace.
