Senator John McCain made a campaign stop in Miami today. I’m not a big fan of him as a politician, but as a veteran myself, I do respect how he distinguished himself in the military and I appreciate the sacrifices he made in Vietnam especially when he was held prisoner for several years. […]

That’s the gist of a headline on a piece from the U.S. State Department noting the fourth anniversary of Primavera Negra (Black Spring). Here’s a snippet of the article:
