Audie Murphy and Alvin York were war heroes.
McQueeg was a POW.

McCain is an idiot, 100% agreement there. He did disappear when the Forestal was on fire, but on the other hand he did go on missions that frankly require some brass. Now specifically and I hope some aviators speak up was McCain on his missions just a “nose dipper, bomb dropper” or was he aggressive in his passes?

Maybe Al Franken can do the Sunday talk show circuit next week to explain how what he said was different that Donal Trump said.

Maybe the Trump camp will see this and next opportunity - and there will be one - they can remind the liberal, lying press of this inconvenient bit of hypocrisy.

That guy should have gone to jail for the Keating 5 scandal. He finished almost last in his class from the US Naval Academy. His name should be "Crash" since he lost so many aircraft he flew. He was in the USS Forrestal disaster that killed 134 sailors even though he did not cause it. He lost two runs for POTUS. Disaster follows this guy where ever he walks and whatever he touches similar to Obama.
His father and grandfather were great men who became admirals in the USN. That's the only positive thing I can find about him.
But Johnny?
Trump and Franken are correct, but even broken clocks are correct twice a day.

Democrats don’t care about attacking veterans, especially ‘conservative’ veterans (IE, ones who haven’t embraced that they really are ‘women.’) Chris Rock’s comedy routine on McCain took the same tact.
These articles aren’t for Democrat consumption, they’re to distance any conservative away from Trump.

Not a big McCain fan but it’s not like he took a wrong turn or was sleeping while on patrol and got captured. He was flying missions over Vietnam and under fire. That’s how he got shot down and captured.

Good find. If I recall correctly the left said similar things about George Bush (41) regarding his military record.

One must first determine who it is who's criticizing McCain's service record.I,for example,served...honorably but *not* courageously..during the Vietnam era.I never served anywhere near SE Asia and the most dangerous thing I ever did in uniform was eat Army chow.As a result I have no right to claim that McCain's record isn't worthy of respect and admiration.
OTOH,Franken who,I'll wager,never served in *any* capacity (in spite of having been born in '51) has no right whatsoever to make *any* disparaging remarks about McCain's service record.
And as for Trump...I'd have to find out what uniform,if any,he's worn during his life before commenting in detail about recent statements he's made.

In my mind those who went above and beyond in battle were the heroes like your two examples.
Medal of Honor recipients.
POW survivors are just that.
McCain has used up his “service record card” long ago.
What he has done in the Senate borders on treason.
Benedict Arnold was a genuine hero at Saratoga.

Anybody can be captured. Not true. Very darn few Japanese were captured in combat, because they refused to surrender and/or killed themselves. On several of the islands we captured the only POWs were unconcious.

Of course Trump is going to borrow jokes from Democrats. Until very recently he was a Democrat. And I’m sure once he doesn’t get the nomination He will become a Democrat again
Assuming he doesn’t run third-party to help his good friend Hillary Clinton split the conservative vote

If a fireman puts out 100 fires and saves a dozen lives, then robs a convenience store, does he get a pass on the crime because of his good deeds? Perhaps the good deed carries some weight in the sentencing phase of the trial..
I respect McCain for his service to America and for his time in prison, but he is a disgrace to the conservative movement and needs to label himself, as I label him, a democrat.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Thats actually worse than what Donald Trump said earlier today. Yet, did you hear the media or GOP go nuts and bash Al Franken<.I> Chuck Todd will NEVER question democrats on what they think of Al Franken... I'm sure Todd has an excuse ready - on why 'it's different' but the real reason is bias... as it always is with liberal scum...
