I think if a veteran uses the term "just" to describe an activity like McCain's, its ok but for a lay person to say it, might minimize the act. Im not sure. For Clark to say he was just riding in his craft, I think it means he was just doing his duty and nothing more.

I need to hear the audio clip so I can hear the tone. So far I cant see what the big hullabaloo is about.
