McCain enlisted in the marines and was a POW for 6 years.
Trump got five deferments and one was for a foot problem. Who is the coward now?
McCain was in the Navy, not the Marines.
Marines should be capitalized. Are you slighting my service in the Corps?
Of course not. Trump put his foot in his mouth, but I don’t think he was trying to insult Vets or POWs in general. He’s not a military man and doesn’t get military culture. Clinton dodged the draft with a vengeance and he still became President. Strange things happen.
It’s true that media and GOPe insanity may carry the day, but I hardly think that trump was insulting anybody but McCain. McCain has used his POW status as a shield from criticism for a long time. Perhaps it still works, we shall see.
mcinsane was a spoiled brat son of an admiral and an incompetent pilot and was shot down while flying below ordered altitude.that is what was revealed by his comrades.there is the little matter of his having destroyed a couple other planes and almost a carrier.anyone else would have been removed from flight status.
mcinsane hasn’t shown hero status unless you mean hero to leftists.
wearing a uniform doesn’t confer hero status.some of my schoolmates went into the Army rather than go to jail.some came back even more messed up.
