If Truman had conducted a poll...

Perhaps the U.S. Armed Services would still be segregated.

But what most astounds me about these exchanges is McCain's seeming cluelessness and incredulousness that the U.S. military establishment is, Constitutionally, civilian led.

And, oh by the way, McCain never "led" troops. He was a flyboy, and a pretty shitty one at that.

But, yes he was tortured as a POW so he remains President McCain.
