During a recent Republican presidential forum, Donald Trump disparaged Senator John McCain’s war record, claiming that McCain is “not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
And the Internet responded, surfacing a photo that some are calling the perfect comeback and reminder of McCain’s service to his country.

“He is a war hero.”
From Atkisson’s article referred to in another Posting:
Trump said,
“He’s a war hero because he was captured.”
“He’s a war hero, because he was captured.”
“I believe, perhaps, he’s a war hero. But right now, he’s said some very bad things about a lot of people.”
Attkisson asks, “Did Trump say McCain is not a war hero because he was captured? No, not in the exchanges represented in the Post.”
“He is a war hero.”

“There is no possible way McCain can be faulted for what happened that day.”
So you weren’t there and know nothing... Is that what you are saying? You choose to believe what was reported. How would you expect an inquiry to be reported when his dad was an admiral?
Thanks but no thanks, I’ll believe my brother.
“Everyone knows that McCain’s military service is a “no go zone.” “
It is totally fair game. He lost his right to his POW status when he refused as a Senator to allow the US to go get the rest of the Vietnam POWs and instead campaigned for Most Favored Nation Status for Vietnam. McInsane sold out his fellow POWs for campaign contributions.
John McCain escapes Forrestal explosion
More of your brother's shipmates there.
I wasn't in NYC or W. D.C. on 9/11 either but I know the CIA didn't blow up the WTC or the Pentagon.
An incident as bad as the Forrestal disaster and you think the Navy investigators would cover it up for an admiral's son? Do you also think the moon landings were faked? lol
Was this before or after he dumped his ailing wife?

“An incident as bad as the Forrestal disaster and you think the Navy investigators would cover it up for an admiral’s son?”
Yes I do. And your basing your “supposed” opinion on what was reported. If your brother had been there, would you call him a lair?
“Do you also think the moon landings were faked? lol”
What’s the relevance to that? BTW, the same brother and I were on the Gemini recovery team prior to the moon landing.
Let me just close by saying you are an idiot. Backed up buy your position...
You’re the idiot. Tell us what your brother said.
If I’m correct, I believe the man in the blue shirt (behind McPain) is the man known to have eaten a Human Heart when he cut open a prisoner or someone.
“Tell us”
What’s this “us”, You got a frog in your pocket? There’s nobody here agreeing with you...
I provided a link wherein a lot of people agree with me. It’s not possible for McCain to have caused the fire on the Forrestal.
You won’t tell us what your brother said because you’re making it up.
Hey, those bombs were being “man jacked”, because non-stop fly ops, had deck operations flogged on every part of everything. McCain had absolutely nothing to with the USS Forrestal fire. Please stop pumping bilge, as supposed fact- whoever supposedly told you. Just stop!
Ya know, until the Hanoi peace talks, these guys were just meat in a prison. They were political fodder when candidate mccarthy said he would get on his knees and beg for their release. They survived because they were worth more to the Communists alive, than dead, to make all that propaganda, and apologetic ‘I done did wrong to yah’ movies, and aid the darn hippie in Frisco peaceniks with their beaten-out-of-them blathering.
Believe what you want. And I’ll believe my brother who was there and lost many of his shipmates.
Will that work for you?
No.
Actually, you or your brother are absolute liars.
“Actually, you or your brother are absolute liars.”
You are disgusting. What do you base that on? Are you a lib? You need to reject what has been reported in the press. I’m giving you a second person account the best I can of someone who was there.
