Were you there?
I certainly wasn’t.
If he was THAT much of a traitor they would have swift boated him during the election. I know it was eight years ago, but I don’t recall the opposition beating him up too much over that.
Seriously, I think the guy is a douche. I never liked him. And I find it hard to act as though I am defending him.
My point is context. In the context of his situation, I don’t know if I would deem him a hero. I think that term is tossed about too much.
What got me angry at Trump was the comment about “I like people who did not get captured.” That is the kind of off the cuff, a-hole remark that preppy boys who’ve never been in a fight like to make.
If Trump had ever put himself near the position where he might have been captured he might understand a little better that sometimes it is not avoidable.
But after four deferments and a bone spur on his foot...I guess he’s faced enough to be able to judge.
THAT is why I am angry at Trump. I am not necessarily defending McCain beyond the fact that he put himself in harm’s way and Trump went to keggers.
You weren't in the Hanoi Hilton, but plenty of men were. Why not do the research and try to find out if the things being said by Vietnam Veterans Against McCain are true?
