> “Likewise, there is NO substantiation of any misconduct by McCain.”
Sanitized version:
This topic derives from Trump’s response to McCain calling 15,000 fine Americans “crazies”. That’s misconduct right there and it’s par for the course for the scoundrel Senator from Arizona.
Trump never brought up misconduct by McCain except for his calling good Americans “crazies” and for being an open borders scumbag.
So ignore what others bring up from years and years ago that have circulated on the internet. At this point they are irrelevant because they cant be proven false nor can they be proven true.
Stay focused on what the media attacked Trump for. They attacked him for bringing up the fact that McCain is a ‘war hero’ because he was a POW which is absolutely true. Except I don’t believe McCain was a hero-anything in the military. There is not one account NOT ONE where he saved lives, where his actions led to crucial military victories. There’s nothing but exalted language in his citations that were obviously written for an Admiral’s boy.
Everyday there are people in this world that are suffering torture, abuse and crime. Should we pin Silver Stars on all of them? Well I guess if their parent is a 4-star flag ranking officer, then sure let’s pin every medal we can on them.
McCain was an problem child before his time in the HH and after his time in the HH. We know he wasn’t much of a hero in the HH and we don’t know much else while he was in the HH because he’s had all the records classified and that classification act is on the record.
And for more on McCain’s bad character, read what Mark Steyn recently has to say about him:

It may be that Donald Trump is also a bad character but he’s not anywhere near the horrible character of McCain. I’ll take the species of Trump Characteritis over the McCain bad example apparatus eight days a week.
The myth and fantasy of McCain’s dream of Perseus-like heroism for his legacy has fallen apart because history won’t remember what he did. And apparently he finally woke up to that reality a few days ago:
John McCain responds to Donald Trump: ‘I’m not a hero’

Your post is very interesting and helpful. Thank you.
Sorry, but all the obfuscation does not hide the real truth.
There are a whole S-load of accusations that McCain was guilty of all sorts of misconduct as a prisoner.
There is not one iota of proof of any of it. In fact, two MOH winners who were there said it is not true.
Bottom line, McCain may be a political ass, but trying to run down his record as a POW is simply making false accusations about something we know to not be true.
Aren’t we better than that?
Go after his political record all day long, and I’ll join you, but simply repeating known lies is beneath us.
