....The White House has insisted that the raid was a success. But some, including Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, have taken issue with the White House’s framing.

The former prisoner of war said in a statement, “I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success.”

McCain just called WWII, the Revolutionary War, etc. as failures. What a maroon.

The dad is a real POS. Being an active-duty Navy SEAL is inherently super dangerous. SEALs die all the time in helicopter, parachuting, diving and weapons training. He’s trading on his son’s death to get his 15 minutes of political notoriety. A real POS.

D-Day must have been a real disaster in McCain’s mind.

Well then, the U. S. shouldn’t exist according to McCain.

Wars result in death.

It’s obvious his son loved what he was doing, and was very proud to be part of Seal Team. It’s sad the way his father is acting. He’s going against the very nature of what his son was proud to do. I’m sure his son would not have wanted his dad to be doing this after he gave the ultimate sacrifice.

“I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success.”

I seriously doubt that anything I see or hear today will exceed the above quote in abject stupidity.

“I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success.”

So he thinks D-Day was a colossal failure?

John could never be accused of being particularly bright.......cunning/ calculating along with a certain amount of narcissism is more his style.
