Powerful, quiet photos of John McCain

Powerful, quiet pictures of John McCain. People capture John McCain in private and mundane moments that happen to say a lot about him. Highlights include him being pulled from the sea after being shot down over Vietnam, sharing a tender moment with his wife, posing near a Navy fighter jet, with a small child, relaxing with his family, being held prisoner, and more.
This post was deleted for the following reason: So the normal thing to do if you want to call something out or make a point is to go ahead and start a metatalk thread. Making a stunt post not among the better ideas out there. -- cortex
Wait, along with the next post, how does this end? Oh right. Not well.

Oh great, you ruined it. I was going to do a post that was all GIS results about dogs wearing Halloween costumes. Now my format won't be fresh anymore.

is there one of him abandoning his first wife in the hospital?
I love uplifting stories of triumph over common decency.

P.S. I'm here to argue that any pic of McCain sharing a tender moment with anyone should have a NSFW tag.

You know, what I think we need to remember here, my friends, is that for five and a half years John McCain didn't have the option of making snarky parody posts to the blue . . .

Ralph Nader? I once saw him let the air out of a Corvair's tires.

So, everything returned by http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&c2coff=1&q=john+mccain+senator+navy&btnG=Search+Images is supposed to qualify as powerful and quiet?
This FPP is pure spite and should be deleted.
(A more serious attempt would be welcome, however.)

That tender moment shot is scary as fuck. These, from a photographer's POV, are awful. Couldn't find a decent shot among them.
Terrible.
