Keith Olberman is a fucking tool

I never watch his show because he is so fucking obnoxious but I saw a video entitled "McCain attacks the troops", and not realizing it was an Olberman piece I clicked on it to see what it was about.

It was Olberman talking about Cindy McCain's interview in Marie Claire magazine in which she says:

MC: You met your husband after his POW days. To what extent is that still with you — or is it a part of history?
CM: My husband will be the first one to tell you that that’s in the past. Certainly it’s a part of who he is, but he doesn’t dwell on it. It’s not part of a daily experience that we experience or anything like that. But it has shaped him. It has made him the leader that he is.

MC: But no cold sweats in the middle of the night?
CM: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. My husband, he’d be the first one to tell you that he was trained to do what he was doing. The guys who had the trouble were the 18-year-olds who were drafted. He was trained, he went to the Naval Academy, he was a trained United States naval officer, and so he knew what he was doing.

This was enough for Olberman and former Army Captain / current fuckwad Jon Soltz to decalre McCain's remarks disgusting and insulting. Now anyone who knows anything about the military knows that a) The Academies are very big on instilling mental toughness, and b) Aviators have to go through SERE training which is designed to prepare them for capture and imprisonment. Ordinary grunts who were drafted for two years did not have those advantages, and that isn't insulting to them at all.

Update - And I am not implying that aviators or Academy grads are protected absolutely from PTSD but that they are initially trained to be able to deal with the circumstances that would cause it more effectively.
