McCain will not forget his embarrassment when the Donald demeaned his capture as a prisoner of war: “He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” For those who know the circumstances of McCain’s stay at the Hanoi Hilton, he got preferential treatment over the other prisoners. He was an Admirals son, and the North Vietnamese exploited it, rewarding him when he gave them what they wanted. He was sent to the nicest of the POW camps, “The Plantation.” Trump’s focus on McCain would have opened up McCain’s real story which was much different from the propaganda he put out about himself.

Everything this guy says is cringe-worthy.

The Forrestal arsonist, a.k.a. John McCain.

The Hanoi Hilton Songbird. Some prisoners won the MOH while prisoners. The Hanoi Hilton Songbird “confessed” to war crimes.

The difference explains why McLame is such a turd. When pressed he’ll take the out.

Given a chance, he always sides with the liberals.

You don’t “win” the MOH.

It was a ZUNI rocket that started that accident. It came from an F-4. Get your facts straight.

The long list of McCain misdeeds does not include the Forrestal fire.

"Both McCain and Lieberman don’t know which side they’re on,"

This is such a crock. The only issue on which Lieberman distances himself from the left is Israel. The Democrats were downright anti-Semitic during the 2008 election, after they defeated him in the primary. He no sooner got elected than he was huddling with those very people.

That first sentence is utterly incoherant.

Where do you get this crap? Look, I’m mad at McCain, too - altho I voted for him for POTUS and gave him money. I’m tried of his pandering to the liberal press.

But, he’ not a hero because he was shot down. He’s a hero because he volunteered for service, and conducted himself as an officer once captured. I have read accounts from others of his treatment, and it was not a fun experience. Give him credit where credit is due.

Yeh all because an irresponsible frat boy initiated a wet start which he had previously been reprimanded for doing once before. McCain was an Air force CF from the minute he barely graduated the academy. The only reason McCain wasn’t drummed out of the military early on was because his father was an admiral.

When McCain was reported shot down his CO said just as well it was him as we are running out of planes. Or words to that effect.

“What is with McCain this past year? What do the Dems have on him ?”

Same as they all have on each other. Senators and congressmen from both parties who have been in Washington more than 20 years are corrupt.

Why defend a guy who sold out?
Get your facts straight.
McCain always sides with the enemy.
“You have nothing to fear from president Obama”, remember?
