Trump did not criticize McCain the politician, he criticized his war hero status which was out of bounds, especially for a draft dodger.


DT was doing a very good job of criticizing JM the politian, He was going after JM for calling all of us who want to see the border closed “crazies”. So to deflect, Frank Luntz shouts “war hero”

I don’t think there are many true war hero’s that use that designation as a means to deflect from honest criticism. But, that is the pc game these jerks play, unfortunately, it works on many people.

Is this what the below reported quote by Trump is?

"He's not a war hero, hes a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

I agree with you that war hero is a term used a little too loosely for my liking these days. However it applies to McCain for his actions of resisting to go home to give the VC a propoganda victory even when on death's door. This is corroborated by a medal of honor recipient and his cell mate Bud Day, not some unnamed Viet Nam vets that I see in so many articles lambasting him.
