The assumption was that mccain was tortured in NV. Where is the evidence? The late COL Hackworth sheds some light.
I know a lot of older freepers have mixed emotions regarding COL Hackworth but his military record speaks for itself. His comments regarding mccain seem to have eluded FR’s archives.
No one could see through Bravo Sierra more quickly than Hack.
That said, being a military hero doesn't mean you aren't a dick, and McCain was definitely a dick.
Depends on whose military you’re referencing.
The media built him up into a war hero to give him credibility. I mean who dare challenge a Republican “war hero” bashing his own.
Being a POW does not in itself make one a “war hero.” One has no choice in the matter.
Not on my list, did not like him, did not respect him and hope he is soon long forgotten.
You have to define “hero”. Clearly anyone who took the oath and went into harms way and acted honorably is deserving of respect. However if the term “hero” is reserved for extraordinary feats, then it is perhaps used a bit too freely.
One.
Less.
Rino.
Small man.
Bitter man.
Next...
McCain was against torture because he knows it works.
McStain was a zero; not a hero.
McCain was bitter, taking out his resentment on others because of his guilt, he knew the truth. When there’s such deep resentment and bitterness this is usually the case. Attack others to sooth your guilt.
Didn’t ‘Hack’ die about a year (give or take) before McCain ran for President?
How convenient.
I have heard rumors and more rumors. I also have read that McCain and John Kerry manipulated the government to keep their records private. If he deserves honoring I want him to have it but many a good person came back from Vietnam that was treated like shit. I did not like it then and even today I hate the bastards and bitches that treated them that way. Irregardless it behooves our nation to present all of McCains records for the world to see before making him out a hero.
It appears a lot of Officers created their own medals and the real fighters had to earn theirs.
Plus not mentioned is that most of the damage that McShamey endured resulted from his aircraft crash
He didn’t acquit her myself honorably
The Deep State has a way of hiding/losing documentation when it suits the interest of certain people. This applies to not just McCain but miscreants like Senator Edward Kennedy as well.
I miss Hackworth........;(
