Your logic is saying that if someone can go out and accomplish acts of bravery in the service of their country, then that gives them a free ticket to come home and act like a complete coward and traitor for as long as they feel like it?

Wrong. That kind of free ticket is nonsense. McCain might have been a hero several decades ago, but he’s completely ruined it with his actions as a politician. He now fights against the very principles he once shed blood for.

McCain has not only debased himself and his own name, he’s corrupted the very idea of being a hero.

I don’t know if McCain was brainwashed by his captors in an attempt to mold him into a secret weapon to perpetrate tyranny and statism on America from within. But if he was, it would explain his political behavior perfectly.

I did not say that he gets a free ride forever, that came out of you. I said quite clearly that he has earned my respect for what he endured for years at the Hanoi Hilton. In reading your posts it is quite clear that this holds no significant value for you. It is obvious you have no respect for the POW's that lived through hell. No one asked them their political views before they were shot down. Is that something we need to start doing so you can know ahead of time if you can respect them or not? Over the years he has been regularly reelected to the senate by his constituents. They have judged him and found him worthy. Theirs are the only votes or opinions that really count in this matter.

I do agree with the first three words of your last paragraph. “I don't know” There are volumes that you don't know about what this man has been through. You bring up brainwashing as if you have some first hand experience with it. As you said, you don't know but I guess it still sounds good.

I don't like his politics and I have repeatedly stated that position, but I do respect the man. I guess in your mind no one deserves your respect unless they agree with your thoughts ideas all the time. Hitler had that same exact view on life. It is all about "My way or no way."
