Re: Mike Scruggs' Column: A Southerner, Decorated War Veteran Looks At John McCain
Like Scruggs, I too was a Republican for nearly 40 years.
But John McCain and George W. Bush have turned me into an Independent. Scruggs' column expresses my feelings about McCain exactly.
I am also a veteran of the Korean War who served as a Buck Sergeant in S-2 with the First Marine Air Wing at K-3 near Po-Hang-Dong, Korea, in late 1952 and 1953. I was in Korea when the war ended in August of 1953.
I would never support or vote for McCain.
Aldridge, who earned a BS in Art History and a Master's degree in guidance and counseling from Southern Illinois University, is a retired educator. He moved to South Carolina 22 years ago because Illinois was becoming "too much like Mexico".
