Mc Cain.

This is coolbert:

I see where the famous Senator John Mc Cain Jr. has a son, Jack, who is now in the Naval Academy, class of 2009.

This is the fourth generation Mc Cain to attend the Naval Academy. A dynasty of Mc Cain's has now served in the Navy. The great-grandfather and the grandfather of Jack rising to Admiral rank.

Of course, the father, John Jr. had his own career cut short by POW status during the Vietnam War, with injuries from torture exacerbating his imprisonment.

Mc Cain Jr. still retains Presidential aspirations. What comes of that still remains to be seen.

Jack too has a long way to go in his career. It will be many years before he comes to fruition as a senior officer in the manner of his forebears. I wish him well and success!!

This is the sort of thing you rarely see in the American experience. Generations of youth following in the footsteps of their ancestors with military careers.
