Al Santoli -- combat vet of the Vietnam War and former Congressional investigator

Carol Hrdlicka --wife of a Vietnam War pilot shot down, captured, yet never returned

Mike Benge -- returned POW of the Vietnam War andEleanor Apodaca -- sister of a Vietnam War MIA

explain some of the reasons that:

Disabled American Veterans (DAV) rates John McCain's voting record as only 20% in support of veterans, the lowest in Congress;

Iraq and Afghanistan American Veterans give McCain a grade of "D"; and Vietnam Veterans of America rate McCain's voting record on veterans' issues at 30%.

Listen to the families of the MIAs and how McCain treated them.

One woman even had a picture of her husband in Captivity, but never got an accounting of what happened to her husband.

He is hiding something in those files.

Just think about that.. Why would McLame a POW not be a staunch ally and proponent of MIA/POW and veterans? Glad this is a topic to revisit and he brought it all back upon himself.

I forget, did Juan MeCain get a Hero's ticker-tape parade in New York City?

Were they calling him a Hero back when he returned or only after a little revisionist history?

This needs to go viral.

I think he had to be a gutless wonder in the Senate for 20 years before he somehow magically achieved post facto hero status.....

Some of the most famous POWs said McCain was a hero

after capture and severe injuries, he was offered an early release (the NVA thought that having the son of the Pacific Fleet Commander released early would break the spirit of the other POWs). McCain refused and was thrown into solitary for another 4 years.

What should be publicized is that the reason Trump went after McCains “hero” status is because McCaine been using that tag for decades to get away with his RINO BS.

Yep, people don’t understand, Trump don’t shoot off his mouth for no reason. The guy knows full well what McLame is all about.

I don't know if she is alive or not, but it's evidently this woman.

Carol Hrdlicka —wife of a Vietnam War pilot shot down, captured, yet never returned

This video is not professionally made, but it is very eye opening.

The cases mentioned others known to have been left behind, including some sent to Cuba.

He refused to meet with the National Alliance of Families.

It also talks about how he raised his hand and back handed one of the members of the group. A second woman told about how he also raised his left arm ready to strike another older woman in a wheelchair, but instead pushed her wheelchair away from him.

He lied about the Missing Persons Act to this group. He personally gutted the legislation.

This looks like the home page of the group that went to see McCain.

http://www.nationalalliance.org/home1.htm

It doesn’t look very active at the present time, but it has some interesting info. Col Peck’s letter of resignation is eye opening.

The big issue here is easily explained as your veteran status has nothing to do with how great of a leader you are. Also, just because you are a veteran doesn’t automatically mean that I have to agree with you.
