No, I don’t guess I do. I probably have a different viewpoint than a lot of people though now days. Suffering does not make one a hero although those men are pretty close to hero status for enduring what they did.
Every soldier in every war put his life on the line for his country.
McCain was willing to risk his life and paid damn near the ultimate price. That makes him a hero. Did you watch the video? Did you see the arrogant scorn and derision in Trump's manner, as if he would never have been so stupid as to be shot down? Hero, hah! And the closest Trump ever got to the military was in the military academy we was sent to at age 13. Honestly -- the video turns my stomach.
But then, I knew a guy who survived the Bataan Death March. When I hear Trump basically saying that these guys were captured which makes them losers ("I like people that weren't captured" ... cue audience laughter), I think of all the POWs who lived and all the POWs who died.
Trump is a cad.
