President Trump should award John McCain, who died on Saturday, the Medal of Honor. The posthumous award would recognize the senator’s extraordinary heroism during his five years of captivity in North Vietnam, when he was tortured mercilessly, leaving him disabled for life. The compassionate and respectful gesture might also help to heal some deep wounds in the Republican Party. McCain was a Navy fighter pilot when his plane was shot down on a mission over the North Vietnamese capital of Hanoi in 1967. He fractured both arms and one leg when he was ejected from his jet and nearly drowned when he parachuted into a lake. North Vietnamese pulled the badly injured McCain from the lake and attacked him. One bayonetted him and crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt.

Dearest liz: you are a lunatic . ..a misinformed lunatic. How dare you insult the Medal of Honor. May you suffer greatly.
Award it to him....only make it out of chocolate. Meghan will devour it in 10 seconds!
So all this phony disgusting fawning over McCain isn’t enough? Still waiting for anyone to tell me one thing John McCain has accomplished that made this country better.
John McCain was one of the schemers who illegally attempted to remove from Office the President of the United States of America.
He also was central to the IRS illegally destroying the Tea Party before the 2012 election. I could go on and on, but why bother.
Medal of Honor? LOL.
Exactly.
Why not Bergdahl? or that he/she that had a dictomectamy?
-Bradley Manning?
I can’t see REAL heroes standing still if this were to move any further than where it is right now.
HOWEVER, one day an idiot started a rumor that HRC may think of running for the Senate and look where that got us.
Remember when Tipper Gore had a similar ‘rumor’ started on her behalf?.....
Madness, the Madness
Since ships are named after dead persons of some fame and repute, John McCain should get one.
I’m thinking the sister garbage scow to the SS bHo would a be a good fit.
No. lets open his files instead.
Liz, you ignorant slut.
They call it the CONGRESSIONAL Medal of Honor for a Reason.
They don’t call it the Presidential Medal of Honor.
You are exhorting the wrong entity. You should be asking Paul Ryan to do it...He might even be willing to do it as one of his final ‘#u(k you’ to America on his way out of the Speakership.
How does that apply to Senator Keating5?
With the love fest at the leftist globalists are keeping on McCain I challenge any Freeper to defend McCain because you cannot get this kind of love from leftist assholes unless you’re an leftist asshole.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust just bury that prick and get on the bus already.
Faux News, you can always depend on them to come up with the dumbest ideas.
That said, the Congressional Medal of Honor is reserved for more than magnanimous gestures for politicians, and McCain's service simply did not come near the stratospheric level of honor, selfless courage, and distinctive valor required for the CMoH.
From Wiki, Mister McCain received the following awards...
Silver Star Medal
Legion of Merit (2) w/ Combat "V"
Distinguished Flying Cross
Bronze Star Medal (3) w/ Combat "V"
Purple Heart Medal (2)
The total of which quite sufficiently describe Mister McCain's wartime service.
.
Maybe a medal for dodging the bullet from the savings and loan issue with ole charles keating and company.
Consevatives my ares.
I’ll take the seat next to yours and one bottomless popcorn bucket plz.
Hey; you stupid PEEK.
The MEDAL OF HONOR is not awarded for getting captured and singing like a canary!
That would be the one issued by the NVA and the Viet Cong.
