Apparently he is unaware that the Code of Conduct precludes taking parole or special favors from the enemy.
“...actor Matthew Modine...”
Well, since MATTHEW MODINE has spoken, and he’s an expert on warfare, guess we’ll just have to vote for Obama now. Sheesh. What a self-absorbed putz. (Is “putz” a word that’ll get me in trouble here?!?)
So some b movie actor becomes a military expert overnight?
I look at it like McCain had the balls to bet back in seat and go after them again. The US planes were setting ducks over the north.
Mr. Modine is a ridiculous turd.
Ah, political commentary from a washed-up celebrity. Personally, I’m waiting for someone more prominent to chime in. You know, like Crispin Glover.
he is 100% correct (in his world), a good POW would have seen his errors and asked to be seated next to Hanoi Jane on that anti aircraft gun.
I guess my dad was a bad soldier too, he was shot down 7 times in WWII. Bad, bad soldier.
How dare you speak for the brave men that served in Vietnam. John McCain did his duty every day, and did it by the book (ref. Article III).
We didn't play soldier on a Hollywood set then go home to our girlfriends at night. We lived it! We had the real bullets fired at us, not the Hollywood special effects that were harmless. We lived in the mud, and the squaller, and the smoke, and the blood, and the screams, and the Hell every minute of every day. We never knew if we'd be alive the next day, but we kept fighting. We did it so that you could jump around a Hollywood set and play soldier.
So, Mr. Modine on behalf of John McCain and all Vietnam vets living and dead..STFU! You complete waste of tissue.
P.S. I'd love to slap that smerk clean off your face, a$$hole!
Should WE care what some BRAINLESS MORON who is famous because of a movie thinks? I don’t give a F what he thinks!!
He is one of those that Hollywood turns to when nobody better will accept a roll. He lacks the ability to instill likeability or to inspire sympathy. In “Pacific Heights”, I found myself drawn to Michael Keaton’s character over his because, if for no other reason, Keaton is the much more talented actor. In “Married to the Mob” I cringed when he wound up with Michelle Pfeiffer because she deserved so much better. In “Memphis Belle” he delivered the best performance by a cardboard cutout. He does stand out in one repect, however. He is a lying, unpatriotic fool and has no more qualification to speak of military matters than Obama has to be president.
Honestly, I did not know this about Senator McCain. Thanks, Matthew, for bringing this to my attention. Got any more juicy tidbits you care to share? Now quoting from a real actor “What a maroon!”
The POS Modine has only exposed his own ignorance.
What a fool!
I give this much to McCain as well he wasn't The Fortunate Son. He did his time in country and in actual combat. I do wonder how many minutes Modine could hold up to their interigation? Some POWs took it for years including a former C.O. of mine. Modine would likely be the Private Pyle of his unit and I don't mean Gomer but rather the character in the movie. His Bio say Private Joker. I think that was the clown who was the peace activist journalist. How Goreish of his character.
Doing what Modine says would have earned McCain a Court Martial. But then again so does killing our enemies so it seems.
