Meghan McCain: ‘No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period.’

That statement alone will do the McCain campaign in and open for criticisms.

Thinkprogress:

In an interview on the Today Show this morning, host Meredith Vieira asked Meghan McCain about Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) comments that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) “doesn’t get it.” Meghan responded by pointing to her dad’s service in Vietnam and her two brothers who are currently enlisted. She then went a step further, however, saying that her family is the only family that understands war:

And this the first time that anyone in the McCain family is mentioning two sons currently enlisted. Why is that McCain didn't bring up his sons' enlisting in the military in his RNC speech?

Meghan's latte was probably spiked when she made that statement. I'm sure the Tillman family wasn't pleased by her statement. She needs to come visit Pat Tillman's grave and hear the Tillmans' story.
