Trump went too far on that one.
But, name some of the great POW war heroes from WWII, or Korea, or WWI.
You can’t, because hero status from most all wars was achieved in battle, not in a POW camp. But Vietnam was so divisive, and so dishonestly covered by the press, that combat heroes who were no doubt present in Vietnam were never given the recognition and publicity to become well known.
So, because of the immense coverage of the POW returns from Vietnam, some POWs became war heroes from that war. And because of his unfortunate political career, Juan has been one of the best known Vietnam POWs.
What I do not understand is how people on this thread are acting as if Trump insulted ALL POW’S when it is perfectly clear that he was addressing MC CAIN. To me it is an issue between Trump and McCain....after all McCain started it.
