Call it wishful thinking or whatever you want, but someone who would say something like “I like people who weren’t captured,” about any POW has no business serving as commander in chief. And certainly no business calling himself a conservative.
He was an incompetent pilot who got shot down.
I’m not sure Donald Trump has claimed to be a conservative.
¡Yeb! and Rubberio have.
Falsely.
“Call it wishful thinking or whatever you want, but someone who would say something like “I like people who weren’t captured,” about any POW has no business serving as commander in chief. And certainly no business calling himself a conservative.”
I serves in V-NAM, and Trump is right. Getting captured does not make you a war hero. Getting captured ,in itself, is not heroic. Heroes get captured and so do scumbag traitors like that puke from Sun Valley Idaho.
I just visited the Flight museum in Seattle this weekend.
There was this exhibit of the “Red Baron”, the greatest combat pilot who ever lived. He shot down 80 enemy fighter planes! McCain shot down ZERO enemy planes. The Red Baron was never captured. McCain was captured on his first or second combat mission.
Yeah I would say Red Baron was a hero, McCain was son of an Admiral in the Navy, and graduated at exact bottom of his class in the war college.
If surrender to the enemy you put all that information you have at risk. Would you surrender to ISIS ?
I’m always surprised at the shiny objects the media foists upon fools.
Jerry Lewis is still around- maybe he’ll star in a movie about “hero” John McCain LOL!
McCain, the guy Trump attacked for calling conservatives “crazies”...
Which makes you so mad.
couldn’t agree more. has nothing to do with what the other candidates are saying or not saying.
Trump is, to use his words, stupid.
Interesting , and more accurate, post follows immediately after yours.
True heroes never brag and never allow anyone to tout them as a hero.
A lot of people hate McCain and Trump just gave them a reason to call McCain a fraud which he is.
During this past day there have been several several sons and daughters of true heroes of WWII, Korea who have spoken up that their hero fathers never spoke about their bravery for which they were given medals, never allowed anyone to call them a hero and always said there were many heros on the battlefield and the true heroes never returned.
McCain has no honor in him. If he was honorable he would IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT HESITATION agree with Trump and say that he himself is no hero, that much finer men and women than he committed heroic acts and they deserve to be called heroes especially the ones that died while committing acts of heroism.
But McCain would never do the honorable thing because he’s a fraud. And Trump called him on it.
Trump was responding to McCain calling those thousands who turned out to see Trump speak as “crazies”.
Trump is right.
You should direct your anger at McCain and stop judging others for remarks about true heroism because you are no hero yourself nor do you attract thousands and thousands of patriotic Americans who McCain calls “crazies”.
And Trump is not alone.
Admiral Stockdale who was the Commanding Officer of all POWs in the Hanoi Hilton NOT ONCE cited McCain for heroism nor did he ever describe or speak of any particular heroism on the part of McCain.
NcCain’s so-called heroism is a lie perpetrated by the media and allowed by McCain to circulate.
McCain is a LIAR.
Trump is telling the truth. And that’s why he’s leading in the polls.
