John McCain actually said...

"The military is a meritocracy, where success is based on what you do, not who you are."

"I couldn't disagree more. We send these young people into combat. We think they're mature enough to fight and die."

"Have you held anyone responsible, was my question."

"It is true there is no constitutional right to serve in the Armed Forces, but the military serves all the people of this country, no matter who they are or what they believe."
