Jack McCain is the son of Cindy and the late Senator John McCain .

He served in the Afghanistan War and helped train some of the Afghan Black Hawk pilots.

McCain : "I believe that I'm vertical and still on this earth because of the efforts of my Afghan pilots and crews. I owe them personally, but the nation owes them a debt of honor".

Sen. John McCain says it's an "utter travesty" that people on both sides of the aisle are ignoring the problem of Afghan refugees.

He says the vetting process has taken place, but lawmakers need to pass legislation to fix the problem.

McCain : I would urge lawmakers to do the one job they're paid by the American people to do, and to solve it.

Jack McCain : "The best life is one lived adventurously, and if- in service of a cause greater than one's self interest" "To live a life simply focused on the single goal of attaining public office is not, in my mind, a life purposefully lived," McCain says.
