Disagree with his politics, mistrust his shifting political alliances, but no one who's benefited from the tortured sacrifices he made at the Hanoi Hilton should question his integrity. How can we, whole in body and strangers to the hell he experienced, challenge this patriot? To do so indicates a fundamental inhumanity

Maybe I'm the only retard in the world that does not think that getting shot down because you suck as a pilot and surviving torture ranks as heroic in the same vein as what an Audey Murphy, George Patton or George Washington did in their heroics

Do you include every POW from Vietnam in that description?

If I could reach through the computer monitor and snap your neck with my bare hands... it would have been over the second you wrote that crap.

I would never vote for McCain, but McCain served with the highest honors and he has NEVER stood before the people of America and called our brave U.S. troops killers, as Kerry and Murtha have done.

You make me sick to my stomach. You are no different than a moonbat liberal, me, me, me....

If you think only sucky pilots get shot down then,yes,
you are a retard.
Imagine flying an aircraft on a bombing run -
you hit your target or dodge like a puss to save your ass.

John McCain rejected early release, ahead of others, and
denied the Viet Cong a publicity coup. For his obstinacy
LCdr McCain had the hell beat out of him.

So until you have experienced combat flight I would suggest
you might want to reserve your comments to areas where
you won't look so ignorant.

Bommer, thanks for your post #15.

The only one that benefitted from McCain's sacrifices at the Hanoi Hilton was John McCain.

And after what he did to the POW-MIA families, I won't ever believe he isn't some kind of Manchurian Candidate.No one who was a prisoner for five years could ever do that to these families.

I agree, Bommer. 'the Talker" doesn't deserve hero status.



McCain wasn't part of the solution.....
