Did Richard Nixon pardon John Songbird McCain of charges as serious as treason and did our defunct mainstream media hide this horrific side of a man who would have been our president in 2008, save only for a Black being on the ticket? What is the truth here? Colonel Ted Guy was preparing criminal charges against John McCain when Nixon took Admiral McCains little boy under his wing. Where are McCains 32 propaganda tapes that were made during Vietnam and broadcast over the radio to US troops? asks Gordon Duff, a disabled, Marine combat veteran of Vietnam writing about the McCain story. Duff is a longtime activist for veterans and POW issues.
Here is an anonymous writer, an active Marine in 08, who claims to know of and tells the True Military Record of John McCain. For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals.
McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat, explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs-the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon.

The B-24 wasn't an easy plane to get out of, BTW, not to mention the dangers of parachuting, landing, and being found and recovered at sea.
Kennedy's plane didn't make it far from where it took off, before exploding.
A man like McCain who has no loyalty to anything other than himself at this age reflects on a younger man who had no loyalty to anything but himself. I don’t buy in to “common knowledge” when it comes to McCain or others like him.

Learns? Just now?
I watched it.
I didn’t know he had 2 sons and a daughter with the wife he dumped.
