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.
No disrespect. I am a little old lady who has zero military experience. Thank you for your service.
