Thanks to this B-list actor for providing the Hollyweird take on military service and honor.

Apparently he is unaware that the Code of Conduct precludes taking parole or special favors from the enemy.

This is what comes from pretending to be other people for a living.

After hearing the details of John McCain being shot down during Fred Thompson's speech last night, how this POS could even DARE to speak these words....I'm speechless.

It's shocking how disrespectful some people can be.

We ran into actor Matthew Modine (remember "Full Metal Jacket"?!?) at Denver's La Rumba restaurant

Was he waiting or bussing tables?

That's what you're supposed to do as a prisoner of war

Could someone please help me? I've forgotten which of the military academies Mr. Modine was a graduate.

I hope he is invited to FOX News to repeat his comments. I think we need to give this guy a big microphone. I want everyone to hear this.

I don't remember this guy.

Did he play one of the cute little robots in Star Wars?

The media has apparently been rummaging through the long list of washed up brain dead actors looking for some idiotic slander about Super-Hero McCain. They found this no-name fool.

Matthew Modine should refrain from political analysis and continue burnishing his legacy with high-quality films like Cutthroat Island and Transporter 2.

“...he got shot down three times!” said Modine, taking on one of McCain’s most lauded personal accomplishments. “That’s not success!”

On the contrary. Captain John S. McCain III very skillfully piloted his aircraft directly into a barrage arising from below, not once but THREE times, and in two of them, managed to scramble out of harm’s way (mostly) and return to his squadron. The last time was a little tougher, as he had to deal with some rather extreme ruffians for several years before he could make it back.

But he made it back.

Modine is not fit to clean Super-Hero McCain’s toilet.

Here’s how it really went down.

Modine - “I mean, he got shot down three times!”

Reporter - “Whatever. Just make my Big Mac, I’ve got things to do.”

Well there we go. Someone who pretends to be other people has spoken.

"And he wasn't even a good prisoner of war," said Modine. "He should have left as soon as he could. That's what you're supposed to do as a prisoner of war: Leave when you can. It defeats the enemy. It makes them look bad and it weakens them."

Wrong answer sh*t-for-brains.

Article III

If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

This makes me so damn angry I can hardly type. This POS is so far over the top it’s not even funny. He not only has no clue, he doesn’t even know what a clue looks like....................

"I mean, he got shot down three times!"

The flak is always the heaviest right over the target.

McCain must have been on target.
