“Every single GI for two-hundred-odd years, who served, even if they just dished chow on a Texas Army post....during a war conflict....is a war-hero.”

One of the few demographics that actually earned their
special rights and privileges but sorry, a skunk is a
skunk. Kerry’s a skunk and McCain is a skunk and they
stink no matter what. Are they what we want to portray as
war vets? Are we to assume that a war vet will cut
Americas throat just to have power?

Correct, just as Benedict Arnold was a war hero for the battle of Saratoga and later became a traitor over a piece of tail.

Arnold was renowned for several actions over a period of time. His notable actions included the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga in 1775, defensive and delaying tactics despite losing the Battle of Valcour Island on Lake Champlain in 1776, the Battle of Ridgefield, Connecticut (after which he was promoted to major general), operations in relief of the Siege of Fort Stanwix, and key actions during the pivotal Battles of Saratoga in 1777.

BUT, with all of that, he will always be the iconic figure of a traitor because of his reversing sides.

To me, McCain’s time in the HH deserves the same footnotes as Arnold’s accomplishments, but his dereliction of duty as a public servant is far more damaging to this country. His latest is he used his power to secretly meet with our new enemy (ISIS) and tried to sell them to us as allies. The ironic thing is that they got their weapons to use against us through Obama and Hitlery through the illegal actions in Libya. All the while supported and pushed by the supposed credible “war hero” McCain.

In my family history....going back to the late 1800s....we had a member who jumped up four weeks after they declared the Spanish-American War and volunteered. He went off to bootcamp to some location out in Texas. Along the last week or so of bootcamp, the Army got pictures made of each guy (some memento I assume) and then suddenly....the war came to an end. This guy and the others in his group sat around for roughly six weeks while the Army tried to figure out what to do with them. Then they just dismissed them.

He comes back home with a uniform, a long-winded story about life in Texas, and this picture....and the claim to being a participant in the Spanish-American War. It’s all truthful....just that the war came to a fairly quick end by August and those in the first wave kinda ended the whole thing. War-hero status? He was in uniform, and prepared to give all....it’s just that the war ended shortly after it started.
