I will always think of McCain as the guy who was so desperate for power that he was willing to put Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from being President of the United States (it’s painful just to type that). As such, anything he says at this point is completely discredited or as my old mother said; you’re judged by the company you keep.
Allowing Palin on the ticket, did prove poor John was not only over the hill, but rode too hard, put away wet, and sway backed too badly to ever ride again.
Hagel is the GOP RINO, with a history of choosing the wrong sides on world issues…..and McCain is a horses ass??Hagel is on the record with siding with America’s enemies!
choosing Sarah who was Alaska’s governor, and very popular, was what saved McCain from a landslide LOSS; much of the GOP vote was conservatives like myself voting for Sarah for VP and holding our noses to vote for McCain.-A President Palin would have pulled the USA out of recession before the 2010 election, and we never would have been plagued with Obamacare. Jobs would have been created by a business sector unafraid of what they face under Obama’s marxist regime.-“IRS: Cheapest Obamacare Plan will be $20,000 Per Family”1/1/13 article at http://cnsnews.com (the lowest plan, Bronze, premium cost in 2016) ..“…the penalty for not buying insurance will be the annual average of Bronze or 2.5% of taxable income, or $2,085.00 per family”…
A long time ago, before I knew more about his history (such as his womanizing and endangering other sailors with rogue actions during the VietNam war), I used to admire his occasional unwillingness to go along with every GOP move. Observing with more focus, I’ve come to the conclusion that every move of his has been self serving. What a pitiful man. Thank goodness we don’t have to deal with him and the similar (self-serving) “rogue” from Alaska. His latest hissy-fits show just how unfit he is to lead.
McCain was wrong about attacking Iraq, wrong about the WMD, wrong about Libya, wrong about Iran, wrong about a permanent American presence in Iraq, and wrong about Afghanistan. Yet he challenges Hagel for being wrong about the surge, the one part of Iraq where McCain might have been right (though history is not being kind to that — it looks as though paying off young thugs to behave was much more important than having more American troops). He simply has no credibility left, and is spending his time re-arguing not only Iraq, but also Viet Nam.
Bruce, not a problem, with age comes wisdom, and sometimes short temper, and tried patience. Just as when I criticize “positions” taken by posters who constantly represent those positions it isn’t actually “personal”. (However, isn’t it odd how often “some of us” do become the target of personal attacks?)

Chuck Hagel and John McCain were once BFFs.I think losing in 2008 made McCain crazy, or maybe he is off of his meds.
