The late senator's youngest son endorsed Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris, telling CNN he will help her campaign "in any way" he can
John McCain's youngest son, 1st Lt. Jimmy McCain, revealed that he is now a registered Democrat — and plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election.
Jimmy announced his decision in an exclusive interview with CNN published Tuesday, Sept. 3, during which he also slammed former President Donald Trump and his campaign staffers’ alleged behavior at Arlington National Cemetery last week — which Jimmy, 36, dubbed a “violation.”
According to NPR, on Monday, Aug. 26, a cemetery official was scolded for preventing Trump’s campaign team from filming and taking photographs in an off-limits area of the grounds called Section 60, where “service members killed in action in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom” are buried, per the cemetery's website.
Both NPR and the U.S. Army said that when the official tried to stop Trump from staging a campaign promo in Section 60, they were pushed aside by members of his team.
He went on to say that the people buried at the Virginia military cemetery (which includes several members of his family tree, including his grandfather and great grandfather) cannot consent to being part of Trump and J.D. Vance’s campaign — or any political campaign, for that matter.

But never mind your adulterer father doing a campaign ad at the same cemetery.
WHO was his Dad?
It didn't in this case.
"Songbirds of a feather, flock together."
1Lt. Most miltiary types, myself included, see DemoRATS at treasonous SOBs. That’s how I see him.
The U.S. Military has gone to crap. This is proof of that.
Nobody cares except the dungbeetles at AOL Commie News.
The whole McCain faction in Arizona went from being assistant Democrats to being out and open about it.
No one of sentient mentality gives a s*** about ANY McCain.
Dear Jimmy.
There were ~58,280 American military deaths in Vietnam. These were someone’s loved ones, someone’s son, in some instances someone’s daughter. They were told they were there to fight the spread of Marxism/Communism. To defend freedom. Millions of south Vietnamese also died or were wounded in that war - also fighting communism. Now you are spitting on their sacrifice by backing a Marxist running for office in America. There is no honor in your position, and for you to evoke the sanctity of Arlington to push your flawed stance is sickening.

What Arlington Cemetery Photo Op?
Virtually all of these allegations were already addressed re: Arlington.

So that whole business of military officers not publicly commenting on political matters, we’ve given up on that, have we?

Another invented scandal by the press.
Who gives a rat’s rear end who Jr. McCain votes for? His old man was a piss poor pubbie, more like a lefty RINO.
I was reading about James Stockdale. Like John McCain, a prisoner at the infamous Hanoi “Hilton”. Here is his story:
On Sept. 9, the pilot was on his third tour of duty, commanding Carrier Air Group 16 on a mission over North Vietnam. On his flight back from the target, Stockdale’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down. He ejected over a small village and was captured.
Suffering from several broken bones, Stockdale was taken to the prisoner of war camp in Hanoi — famously called the “Hanoi Hilton” — which was known for its brutality. Stockdale, who was the highest-ranking Navy officer POW in Vietnam, was held there for nearly eight years.
It was a difficult eight years.
From the start, Stockdale refused to cooperate with his captors. After being caught urging other POWs to resist, he and 10 other senior POWs were taken to another jail block where they were frequently tortured. Stockdale spent two years in heavy leg irons and four years in isolation, but he didn’t waver. He led the POWs’ culture of defiance, finding ways to communicate and govern prisoner behavior that gave them all hope.
“We had a war to fight and were committed to fighting it from lonely concrete boxes,” Stockdale said during an Academy of Achievement interview. “Our very fiber and sinew were the only weapons at our disposal. Each man’s values from his own private sources provided the strength enabling him to maintain his sense of purpose and dedication. They placed unity above self. Self-indulgence was a luxury that could not be afforded.”
Stockdale became a symbol of resistance. One of his most famous acts of defiance was cutting his own wrists, showing the enemy that he would rather die than tell them anything. While the enemy revived him, the act was credited with helping end the North Vietnamese use of excessive torture toward POWs.
This is NOT how the Hanoi “Songbird” conducted himself. He did nothing to distinguish himself.

Like father like son. Daddy was a Democrat too! He took a dive for O’Bama.
