TO: MY FELLOW CALIFORNIANS
FROM: MAJOR (RETIRED) MARK A. SMITH
FORMER PRISONER OF WAR

MY FELLOW AMERICANS, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about a man, who is a hero to me. When, according to the press, no one cared if I lived or died, Bob Dornan stood beside my family and myself. At that time Bob held no political office. He was part of the media. But, as in all things, Bob Dornan refused to join the herd. He looked at his own experiences as a fighter pilot and military man. Then he demanded that his fellow citizens back me on the battlefield and when I went missing and nearly everyone thought I had died, Bob Dornan demanded I be found and brought home.
The mainstream media would like you to believe Bob is a “firebrand” and “rebel.” What he truly is, has to do with a demand for truth, honesty in government and a return to moral values. He makes no exceptions in these matters, based on party and left or right politics. This makes many politicians, even in his own party, angry. But Bob Dornan is no Washington “horse trader” and gets in bed with the Devil for no man. They say he makes his fellow politicians nevrous. Frankly, I want and hope you want, someone in Washington making politicians “nervous.”
On 14 February 1973, Bob Dornan had the exclusive of his media life. States Army’s first returned Prisoner of War. I was that POW. But Bob said something that evening that showed the mark of the man; “I’m not here for an interview, I just have become so close to your family, I felt I should join them in welcoming you home safe.” There was never a word in the media about Bob’s “scoop.” He kept his word. We need someone in Washington, who will forgo personal gain and media “face time” to keep his word.
I sued a Republican President, Bob Dornan and I both adored, over the fate of Americans still missing in Southeast Asia. Bob Dornan backed me to the hilt.
THE BEGINNING OF SOCIALISM IN AMERICA… ~ EDRIVERA.COM
Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. defines SOCIALISM this way, “Any theory or system of social organization which would abolish, entirely or in great part, the individual effort and competition on which modern society rests, and substitute for it co-operative action, would introduce a more perfect and equal distribution of the products of labor, and would make land and capital, as the instruments and means of production, the joint possession of the members of the community.”

TO ANSWER A QUESTION
In my opinion, there are no “sacred cows” when it comes to the office of the President of the United States of America. At this point, there is a “flying squad” of returned POWs from the Vietnam War protecting the image of Senator John S. McCain. One can but wonder why Senator McCain would require such a team. He is not under attack or even serious scrutiny by the “liberal media.” TV commentators who usually attack anyone who shows a less than pristine bent for the most part are mum on the Arizona Senator.
My concerns are simple. I believe that any and all of the intelligence held by U.S. Government agencies on Senator McCain’s time as a POW must be made available to the media and public. There is too much danger of a President being held hostage by things in the files of Intelligence agencies and, even more dangerous, held in the files of foreign governments in Asia and Europe.
My intentions have nothing to do with any feelings I may harbor toward John McCain personally. I have none. My intentions in all of this have to do with him professionally. They have to do with his treatment of Bui Tin, who I consider nothing more than a “sent agent.” They have to do with his simplistic attitude toward the issue of MIAs and his utterly vile behavior toward those who disagree with him, including family members. Lastly, I feel for any of the “Keating Five” to have the audacity to make “Campaign Reform” the cornerstone of his platform is the height of hypocrisy. He took the money right along with the others. To claim he did not know is not the type of answer one who aspires to be President should give in my opinion. He was responsible, but he did everything in his power to shift the blame. He sounded too much like Clinton for me. He disappointed me in that.

John McCain: Privileged 'War Hero', Liar, Colloborator, Traitor Part 1
Editor's Note: I transcribed the dialog of a 5 part video interview on June 22, 2007 between retired Army Colonel Earl Hopper and Gerard Kiley of Veterans Against John McCain. To make the reading flow easier, I removed the repeated phrases, false starts, etc. that hamper a printed version of an unrehearsed conversation.
Why Politicians Can’t Give Honest Answers About Military Service – Conor Friedersdorf – Politics – The Atlantic
I’d love to hear, just once in my life, a presidential candidate give a blunt and honest account of why he hasn’t served.

In The New Republic, Alec MacGillis says one reason Mitt Romney has trouble connecting with Southern voters, even compared to past moderate Republican candidates, is his lack of military service:
In the region that prizes military service more than any other, Bush’s aviation heroics, Dole’s paralyzed right arm and McCain’s years in North Vietnamese captivity lent them fundamental credibility and a connection with voters, particularly fellow veterans.
McCain might’ve disagreed about voters in South Carolina about immigration or climate change, but he could crack one of his Marine jokes, or go on one of his solemn Country First turns, and have the crowd eating out of his hand. With Dole and Bush, the appeal was less explicit, but it was still there; everyone knew where they’d been. Romney has nothing to draw on here.
Perhaps that’s right.
As MacGillis goes on to say, “When he was asked in 2007 why none of his five sons had served in the military, he answered, to widespread derision, ‘One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected.’”
