McCain was like a prince to the NVA as his father was CINCPAC. I vividly recall Project Sigma having an AK 47 mounted for the ADM (McCain’s father) in July 68. McCain may have wrecked some planes, but; getting shot down in the north is no picnic. I served with MACVSOG men from every FOB. None run their mouth nor do any put a pilot down.
We all honor McCain's military service.
However, when the history of this period is written, the damage done to the very foundation of our beloved Republic by McCain will be 1 x 10 ** 100 times greater than the good of his early career.
We can list his many failings: his many "gang" shenanigans; his vote against making the Bush tax cuts permanent; his insane belief is man-made Global Warming; his immigration positions; his destructive attacks on Conservatives, and on and on.
The absolute best thing McCain ever did in his political career was to select Palin as his VP.

I see. So you don’t think John McLaim was a “snitch” for the VietCong while in Hotel HAnoi.?....
