There's the context right there...McCain is not a hero because he was captured; because they are ALL heros, captured or not...
Well a couple of things here. I was in the USAF from 71-75, not a hero just another guy, we shouldn’t dilute the term hero. I knew some hero’s very special.
Trump screwed up his response. He should have passed on the service issue and focused on McCain calling his constituents suffering the effects of illegal aliens ‘crazies’ that statement is breathtaking in it’s arrogance.
Had Trump focused on McCain attacking Arizonans rather than Juan’s military service it would have neutered media attacks, instead he inflicted a wound on himself.
Trump’s strength is his weakness, he shoots from the hip and is prone to gaffes as well as highlighting issues like illegals.
