The writer is either lying, or is hidden under a rock unaware of the truth.
In either event, why read further?
Indeed. The stories about him in Nam have been around for a long time. Collaborator was the term most often used.
I have never liked McShamey. I believe Jeremiah Denton was the REAL hero
His feet stink, and he doesn't love Jesus.
Bingo. I'm sick to death of the free passes that turd has been given because of military service. There is NO linkage. Present day crimes are not excused because of events of 45 years ago.
Repeat after me...Keating 5. John Glenn got his share of free passes because he had been an astronaut. Again, no linkage.
I am not a McCain supporter, far from it.
But, this post simply repeats the same rumors that anti-McCain forces, mostly very liberal Dems, have repeated about him for years.
There is only one on-the-record comment about McCain from anyone who would know, and that is from Vice Admiral Stockdale. Stockdale would know. He was SOP and McCain’s cellmate in the Hanoi Hilton.
He said all the McCain stories about “songbird” are BS, and McCain served honorably. So much of the other is what communist reporters say he said. Who do you trust, a MOH-winning American or communist reporters?
He laced them up and served. I did a RVN tour, and I know few real ‘Nam vets (other then REMFs, like guys that sat around safe bases in safe places like Thailand and effed the local $2 hooch mamas every night) who would criticize his military service, or the service of anyone who spent time in the HH with a broken arm that was never treated. How bad was that broken arm? He still can’t use it 45 years later.
Again, I hate McCain’s politics, but if we just repeat the same unverified “war stories”, are we any better the DU faggots?
Dislike his stupid RINO politics all you (we) want. But lay off the BS military stuff. I left some good parts of my knee over there, and going after another’s service, with nothing but unverified rumors is sacred ground to many of us.
How did McCain improperly eject from his plane?
IBNC
The fact that McCain conspired with John Kerry to hide MIA and POW records negates any hero status he might have had.
P.S., and with all respect to your Blue Zoomie service, you (and all of us real mil vets here) know better than to repeat war stories.
We are ALL better than this.
Mr. Shoebat has a beautiful gift for words.

“According to his fellow prisoners, he was never tortured by the North Vietnamese.”
Odd. That isn’t what his cell mate said. Nor is it consistent with the injuries seen after he arrived and was seen by others.
“And from a US Navy Aviator who served with McCain: “His “shoot down” was self-induced, as he DISOBEYED ORDERS and flew well below the ‘floor,’ getting himself shot down.”
He went down to release altitude. That is determined before takeoff. It is mandatory when dropping manual bombs. That supposed naval aviator is either a fake, an idiot or a liar.
“There were several other jets on that particular mission and he was the only one shot down, because the others obeyed their orders.”
Actually, we lost three planes on that mission.
“Navy Lt. Verlene Daniels, flying an A-4 bomber like McCain, was the first to go down, about 20 miles southwest of Hanoi. Moments later, one of the F-8 fighter escorts, piloted by Lt. Charles Rice, was hit by another missile half a dozen miles west of the capital. Both Daniels and Rice ejected and were promptly captured by angry Vietnamese peasants.”

McCain was number three.
McSane......... He isn’t.
