Posturings of McCain

   McCain Campaign Video - Study of mindset and body english

 

   The campaign video of Senator John McCain is a giveaway of how hollow a candidate can be. He talks of his grandfather and his father before him. Then he talks of Vietnam tour, becoming prisoner of war for more than five years - and about some of his buddies never coming back.

 

   McCain has low esteem of his military experience, that is why he deems it necessary to drag his ancestors before him - to prop up the seemingly inconsequential chapter of his own military experience. His surrogates claim that McCain is a hero, in effect translating his military experience into acts of heroism. Nothing can be more preposterous. There are no heroic exploits that can compare to MacArthur or Eisenhower and much less, to the valiant efforts like the Charge of the Light Brigade.

 

   McCain himself, unabashedly claims he is good at making the people secure, altho his body english says otherwise.  His eyelids flutter faster than the wings of a hummingbird, betraying his non-belief or insincerity in what he is saying. What he actually means is that he is applying for the job of a security guard.

 

   Military experience is no trivia in one's life, but invoking self-pity at the expense of 'buddies who never came back'  is rather lilliputian.
