'The thing about heroes, they don't brag'

McCain on Bin Laden raid - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) continued to hammer the Obama re-election team over its use of the death of Osama bin Laden in a campaign commercial, echoing Mitt Romney's statement that any president - including Jimmy Carter - would have made the same call.

Comment:

Former general Norman_Schwarzkopf,_Jr. once said:
"It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle."   

Obama should be giving credit to those who executed the orders, not taking the credit for giving it.  "Stormin' Norman" didn't brag about ordering men into combat.  Besides, Obama promised not to spike the football.
