America Learns of a Pampered and Protected John McCain
Coach is Right ^ | 7/25/15 | Suzanne Eovaldi

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 McCain’s little boy under his wing. Where are McCain’s 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. “As McCain got 28 medals, Bell continues, that equals out to nearly a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys-grunts on the ground-who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison.”

Joe Jr. was so exercised over being shown up by little brother that he volunteered for a suicide mission...

Really? That was the reason for his volunteering for a highly dangerous, but not suicidal, mission.

Worn-out B-24s had remote controls installed, then packed with explosives. The idea was to fly the planes close to the hardened sub pens, have chase planes remotely take control, and the two-man crews bail out to be picked up at sea. The planes would then be crashed into the targets.

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.
