The Atlantic article is a farce and political hit piece. Read how McNoName treated people, and compare it to how Trump has treated veterans and the families of veterans against McNoName's behavior.

It seems it was McNoName, not Trump, who disparaged families of POW/MIA and others in the military.

Excerpt:
"Is McC--- haunted by these memories? Does he suppress POW information because its surfacing would rekindle his feelings of shame? On this subject, all I have are questions.

"Many stories have been written about McC---'s explosive temper, so volcanic that colleagues are loathed to speak openly about it. One veteran congressman who has observed him over the years asked for confidentiality and made this brief comment: "This is a man not at peace with himself."

"He was certainly far from calm on the Senate POW committee. He browbeat expert witnesses who came with information about unreturned POWs. Family members who have personally faced McCain and pressed him to end the secrecy also have been treated to his legendary temper. He has screamed at them, insulted them, brought women to tears. Mostly his responses to them have been versions of: How dare you question my patriotism? In 1996, he roughly pushed aside a group of POW family members who had waited outside a hearing room to appeal to him, including a mother in a wheelchair."

"But even without answers to what may be hidden in the recesses of McC---'s mind, one thing about the POW story is clear: If American prisoners were dishonored by being written off and left to die, that's something the American public ought to know about."

RE: Mc No Name

A sprawling pedestrian tunnel system under Capitol Hill allows staffers and members of Congress to securely traverse the office buildings, Library of Congress, and Capitol building largely out of sight. But interestingly, they weren’t built with privacy or security in mind, but rather because of Washington, D.C.’s weather.

As I was using this system to quickly go from one place to another, I encountered a number of well know Senators and Representatives. Everyone cordially nodded and replied hello to me except No Name.

I could observe him for quite some time as we walked toward each other. Definitely not friendly and looked a bit like a loony tuney if ya know what I mean. Like mad at the world.
