McLame is not a war hero.

Any fool can be shot down and captured by the enemy.

Being a POW is not a permanent “Get out of jail free.” card, either.

McCain is not a war hero...True

Not even close to being true and on a par with some of the stupidest remarks ever to appear on this board. A total disservice to the many 'non fools' who were shot down and captured while doing what has always been one of the most dangerous jobs during war time, action over enemy territory.

Being a "POW" is not a permanent 'Get out of jail free card'.

True. Life goes on and one is expected to perform to the best of their abilities. There are varying opinions about McCain.

Exactly right about no war hero. Too bad he was hungover and had a record of crashing planes. He’s been a full-fledged Communist and advocate of wide-open borders to all criminals, cartels, and lifelong moochers, forever now. His office argues with his constituents about how right it is that most of our ERs closed many years ago.

Although I do not know one person who has ever voted for him in Arizona, he always wins. At least we have a conservative woman up against him this time.

But not just any fool would decide to endure the torture that McCain did when all he had to do was say the word and he could have gone home. As the son of the CNO he was offered a chance to go home if he renounced the war, but he stuck by the code of first in, first out, and is honored by those who are aware for that.

I don't let my dislike of McCain's policy positions cloud that fact. Trump probably isn't even aware of it. I'm sure he was busy during that war...

Not true. Ive never been shot down and captured by the enemy.

Thought I’ve never served... ;-)
