Did McCain Napalm Women & Children during his 'tour of duty', and if so is he the best Candidate fo President?
While McCain doesn’t admit to it publicly, he could hardly be unaware of the massive civilian ‘collateral damage’ administered by the Cluster, Napalm and Incendiary bombing he let loose,
The celebrated journalist Harrison Salisbury, in a series of articles for the New York Times in 1966 described the effects of the Hanoi bombings on local civilians, noting that “small villages and hamlets along the route were almost obliterated”. Years later Mc Namara acknowledged that Operation ‘rolling Thunder’ (of which McCain, clocking up 23 missions was an enthusiastic participant) and which unloaded 800 tons of ordinance per day over North Vietnam, caused more than a million deaths and injuries each year from 1965 to 1968. While some of the Vietnamese army had access to an underground network of defensive tunnels civilians bore the brunt of the horrific airborne onslaught
Lyndon Johnson was president during the period in question, so it's his fault, not McCain's. You know, like the deaths in Iraq are Bush's fault.
