Maybe these organizations will demand McInsane apologize for thwarting any attempts to get back the rest of our Vietnam POWs?

John McCain is a military hero, and most importantly, he has always been a champion for the all-volunteer-force and our nation’s veterans," Ryan said.

McCain was sure no champion of the POW/MIA families during the senate hearing of the early ninties. He did everything he could to squash any evidence that there might be men left behind in SE Asia. People familiar with those hearings won't be impresssed with McCain.

As his lead increases. I didn’t see these same organizations ever lift a hand against Obama insults. They cheapen themselves and their honor.

That’s fine. They can do what they want. Trump is correct when he says that McShamey has been lousy for Vets.

“For someone who never served a day in uniform to criticize the service and sacrifice of a combat-wounded veteran is despicable," he said, according to the Washington Post.

Well, then color me despicable, pal, because McCain is a fraud who has ridden the war hero train far enough for me.

He hugged Col. Trang in 1992 in DC--then I knew he was compromised.Then he turned his back on the POW/MIA's and their families, and as Trump said, he has not done squat on the VA problems which are long-standing.

McCain is one of the most despicable of the DC cretins, and his political career and choice of friends is proof enough of that.

If he hadn't crashed his fifth plane and become a POW, he'd have spent his life selling beer in AZ instead of being the senior Senator.

F'him.

Just watched original version of The Manchurian Candidate a few days ago. The Lead Character was a War Hero.

If McCain has just kept his Pie Hole Shut rather than starting this by calling his own Constituent’s “Crazies”, this would not even been an issue.

If anyone needs to apologize, it’s McCain, who’s voted to cut veteran’s benefits as a Senator.

The horse has left the barn folks. Trump had a chance to fix it but he waited too long. Now everything he says will be dismissed as something as equally insane as....“I like people that weren’t captured.”

The longer he waits the farther away that horse will get.

Pretty obvious by my handle who I support. That said, I love Trump and would gladly vote for him. He’s an unappologetic smart guy with giant balls who is a true patriot and can’t be bought and won’t back down.

And I’m a vet. The so called vet leaders quoted can kiss my hairy ass. Ditto the screaming crying fainting queen chorus here. gth, every last one of you politically correct mcain but kissers. He’s a pussy douche. Always was, always will be.

Now that the blackmailed SC made it legal, maybe mcqueeg will go ahead and marry linda graham. They consumate it all the time. Might as well come out.

I think that these honorable veterans have let themselves be used in this instance. I suspect that someone prodded them to respond to a misrepresentation of the Trump/McCain exchange. But, regardless, this is not a serious issue. As I posted in a number of threads, yesterday:

An exchange of insults--like pre-adolescent confrontations in a playground--is not an issue for anyone really serious about an American future, to get upset over. That the Journal would seek to focus attention on that exchange--and draw moral conclusions from that exchange, antagonistic to those who have the sense not to comment on that exchange--is to take journalistic absurdity into the clouds of really confused analysis.

Let me suggest that the Journal focus on something that concerns the U.S. Military, that is 1,000 times as important as Trump returning John McCain's insult, with one of his own. What is that?

In recent weeks and months there have been repeated threats from America haters, against our military personnel & their families. Yet the Administration still has Marines & others, serving as potential targets in "gun free zones." Does anyone reading this not believe that that is the sort of outrage that the Journal ought to be concerned with--not an exchange of insults?

Will anyone defend the mental priorities of the Journal staff, in this situation? They, not Senator Cruz, who has a sense of proportion, need to be the butt of condemnation & ridicule.

Occifers lining-up behind McCain. Wow, that certainly makes sense. Yeah, Johnny baby is a real supporter of VietNam veterans. Just ask him. Hell, even SoS John Kerry will tell you what a great man “3rd from goat” Sen. McCain is and has been. Good folks, these occifers.
