I learned a lot from a guy who flew with McCain. He is a freeper very private and I won’t speak for him and his experiences. BUT what I learned was pretty interesting and not flattering. McCain is not a hero, and I suspect Trump knows the truth. Trump is no dummy and before he speaks be assured he knows everything there is to know.
Similar experience, I had met a classmate of McAinal, fellow air jock with McAinal, and a distinguished command history in the Navy, just before the election between McAinal and our current Islamic potus.
We had a short encounter, when he said he couldn’t vote for McAinal.
Then, McAinal stabbed Palin in the back threw the election.
After the election, another Annapolis classmate of both men, and friend of mine for decades, sent me google/you tube links of how much McAinal was hated by those who served with him, and those, who, were POWs. This gentleman suggested that, I try again with the first man, who said he couldn’t vote for McAinal. I did and if I had known what he knew, I would not have voted for McAinal.
