Reality..
Truth.
The exposing of those who are the enemies of the constitution.

(BTW - My dad was 18 when his size 10 boots touched down on the beaches of Normandy).

Gained? TRUTH
The True Military Record of John McCain Written by an Active Marine
Uncategorized by admin

THE TRUE MILITARY RECORD OF JOHN MCCAIN WRITTEN BY AN ACTIVE MARINE.
9/03/08

McCain has never really earned anything. He is from a wealth pampered background and not fit to lead this nation.

A “war hero” doesn’t finished 894th out of 899 and still get stationed at a Navy champagne unit and promoted ahead of all but two of his 898 other classmates.

A “war hero” doesn’t crash three U.S. Navy jets out of sheer incompetence and ineptitude, including two during non-combat training sessions.

A “war hero” doesn’t get written up on drunk-and-disorderly, fraternization, disobeying orders, and insubordination charges more than two dozen times in less than three years.
A “war hero” doesn’t get promoted to squadron commander of the air field named after his own grandfather immediately after crashing his third airplane. A “war hero” doesn’t have all the military records that cover his time in Vietnam and all disciplinary actions against him censored and sealed “as a matte r of national security.” A “war hero” doesn’t get 28 medals awarded all after-the-fact “for bravery” for no other reason than being shot down and captured and then go on a celebrity public relations tour because he’s the son of two acclaimed Navy admirals. A “war hero” doesn’t repeatedly cheat on the wife who’s back in the states waiting for him, and then cheat on her more when he returns to the states, and then divorce and abandon her.
A “war hero” doesn’t systematically vote against every single pay and benefit increase for military and veterans throughout his entire political career, all the while claiming to be “the soldier’s Congressman,” and then take credit for the passage of a G.I. benefits bill he that voted AGAINST. A “war hero” McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom. McCain’s second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. “Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula,” Timberg wrote, “he took out some power lines [reminiscent of the 1998 incident in which a Marine Corps jet sliced through the cables of a gondola at an Italian ski resort, killing 20] which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral.”
McCain’s third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game. Timberg reported that McCain radioed, “I’ve got a flameout” and went through standard relight procedures three times before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain landed on a deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees. McCain’s fifth loss happened during his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, when McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. McCain ejected from the plane breaking both arms an d a leg in the process and subsequently parachuted into Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi. For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals. “McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat,” explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs — the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. “Since McCain got 28 medals,” Bell continues, “that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys — grunts on the ground — who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison
The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down.” For years, McCain has been an unchecked master at manipulating an overly friendly and biased news media. The former POW turned Congressman, turned U.S. Senator, has managed to gloss over his failures as a pilot by exaggerating his military service and lying about his feats of heroism. McCain has sprouted a halo and wings to become America’s POW-hero presidential candidate.
This article was written by an active, unnamed Marine. It was published by Gale Toensing founder of the Corner Report.com and she sent it to me. It is a true account of McCain’s real war record and evidence of his lack of fitness for the office of President.

What is to be gained from trashing McCain?

What is to be gained by calling thousands of concerned Americans who support Trump mentally ill or "crazies"?

Did you forget who maliciously started this?

THE TRUTH!!!Something that has been sadly lacking for a very long time. Has there been as big an outcry over Hillery’s LIES as there’s been about Trump calling out McCain for dissing thousands of Americans as “Crazies?”

When is Truth going to count?
When is Honesty going to count?
When is Kerry going to pay the price for being a shill for Communists?
Add to the list....,.....

[What is to be gained from trashing McCain?]

TRUMP was defending those McCain referred to as ‘crazies’ (which includes the majority of FR) It must have been a “natural reflex of the mouth” moment.

What is to be gained by calling those good Americans concerned about illegal immigration and showing up at Trump's Phoenix rally a bunch of "crazies"?

McCain started it by calling Trumps supporters “crazies”. That’s his favorite term for patriotic conservatives.

McCain called the Republican base crazies and Trump defended the base, that’s what he gets.

Hopefully, a CONSERVATIVE Senator from Arizona to replace the RINO. If enough Arizona voters learn the truth about him by Trump’s bombastic (and truthful) speech, then maybe they’ll get rid of him. Another conservative senator can only help us.

The truth needs to be exposed before he runs again.

It frees up the opposition from having to go negative, as the facts will be readily available as of now.

Maybe nothing, but I surely don’t like the choices of AZ voters.

He didn't trash McCain. McCain tried to trash him and those who like his stand on immigration and a bunch of crazies. Trump responded honestly and way more respectfully than McCain deserves when asked about McCain "being a war hero".

As far as the benefits of trashing McCain - the Truth benefits....he really is a vile person and an insane abettor of the other side and the terrorists more than he is a proponent for our Veterans.
