Philip Butler went to the Naval Academy and roomed across the hall from John McCain. Later, he roomed with McCain at the Hanoi Hilton, so this is a guy that knows McCain well, and he says:
Really interesting article from someone who has known McCain for almost 50 years."Most of us who survived that experience are now in our late 60's and 70's. Sadly, we have died and are dying off at a greater rate than our non-POW contemporaries. We experienced injuries and malnutrition that are coming home to roost. So I believe John's age (73) and survival expectation are not good for being elected to serve as our President for 4 or more years.
I can verify that John has an infamous reputation for being a hot head. He has a quick and explosive temper that many have experienced first hand. Folks, quite honestly that is not the finger I want next to that red button."
