John McCain attempted suicide during his time as a POW. I can understand his mental health being in poor condition while in a prison camp, and I am sympathetic to his plight. However, that being said, there is NO way to determine the mental stability of this man, and how he will endure during the trying times ahead if he happens to stumble into the Republican nomination. This nation deserves a strong leader and not one that could have incapacitative psychiatric issues.

What is going on! This is ridiculous, REEEdiculous! What if this hits the papers.....?!?!?!?!?

If McCain has a mental problem, he has an excuse.

What's yours?

I doubt that any POW who survived the Hanoi Hilton didn't contemplate suicide at some point. As far as PTSD, many people have it, whether or not they know it or not. Re: McCain, could you please cite definitive evidence of his PTSD, his level, and his treatment? I'd say that if he does have PTSD, he's done very well in spite of it. He's accomplished a great deal in spite of what he's endured, physical pain, and oh yea, surviving cancer too.

Your posting is, IMHO, just plain vicious. Go read what McCain endured as a POW. See the photos and videos of the shape he was in when freed. He deserves respect.

Truthfully, I think this warrants a "fishy" flag.
