The right ending for McShame would be cremation,might as well get used to the heat, and flush home down the nearest toilet.
does the naval academy have a swamp or a sewer? that would be appropriate. Do they have a quisling side for internment in specially marked graves? Anything that honors this POS is undeserved. Even his ‘heroic actions’ as a POW are not supported by other POWs that were with him.
McCain did risk his life in the air over North Vietnam and suffered years of Communist hell.
I don’t care for his politics, but he did put his life on the line for his country five decades ago.
I’m fine with his wish.
A convenient place to tap a kidney, as a right of passage for students.
Is he ill? I thought it was mocking and in bad taste to discuss anything to do with McCain dying.
We think Hanoi would be much more symbolic, Songbird
I have a deep and abiding disgust for how John McCain has acted as a politician.
There are those with quite a bit more knowledge than I (so I cannot comment directly) who believe that his military service record is not “all that it is cracked up to be” according to McCain and his backers.
I can say that I would not treat my wife the way McCain did his first wife.
Those 3 things being said, McCain is still a human being, a father and a grandfather. His family is at least entitled to have some decency - in the form of quiet, when praise cannot be given - while he is dying and in the aftermath of what is obvious will be his death in the next few weeks. I would ask all FReepers to do the following, in the name of simple decency:
If you cannot say something nice about McCain (and I, myself, really cannot), then please refrain from saying anything at all.
I’m sure that there are those (including some on this thread) who will take issue with that - but I simply ask all in this particular boat to ask yourselves if your mother would approve of what you have said, or want to say, WRT McCain.
That is all. Peace to everyone.
Fine. Let’s do it tomorrow.
Why confuse or insult the cadets with the example of a reprobate like this at Annapolis?
Send the cadaver to Bethesda for dissections, so at least his corpse is of some benefit to the US military at last.
Hey, check it out... McCain and Freepers finally agree on something! Wanting him laid to rest, that is. Where might be a topic of disagreement, but you start with what you can agree on.
Leave space for Lindsey Graham.
good - as a (pardoned) war criminal he does not qualify for Arlington
Good I don’t want him at Arlington with my brother in law.
Feed him to pigs.
Larson was superintendent when I was there. I felt he was better than the one that followed - but I really only met him twice. He had a solid focus on ensuring the academic rigor was maintained. Think he was called back there in the 90s to help clean up some shenanigans just before retiring.
USNA takes very very few for burial due to space though they did build a columbrian while I was there there in 1987.
Could care less where mcstain ends up.
Actually, it all began at U.S. Naval Base in the Panamanian Province of Colon, Coco Solo. Like McCain, it too is now a crumbling ghost town.
Good...Will have to start saving bottles of urine to sell dockside...
A plot in Hanoi next to Jane Fonda would be more appropriate
It would only be fitting. McCain was brain dead at the Naval Academy so if he is laid to rest there when his brain cancer kills his brain permanently no one will notice any difference in his status while at the Academy.
That's where it should have ENDED -- with McCain FLUNKING OUT. That's what happened to 3 students ABOVE McCain and the 1 student below his grade level. They all were expelled. But Johnny's daddy and grand-daddy were freakin' ADMIRALS -- and so they couldn't have THAT.
Just imagine how many people would still be alive/how much less damage to America would have been wrought had the Academy's brass simply done the right thing and expelled John S. McCain Jr.
