Trump didn’t trash your precious McCain. What he said was, being captured doesn’t make you a war hero. And tell me, how many other POWs got war hero status?

Then he said he likes people who weren’t captured. He should have added “too” because as he’s explained 6,000 times, he meant that he likes people who weren’t captured too, not just those who were.

He may not have served but he has been the only one out there pushing for the veterans. Others talk about improving the military but Trump is probably the most passionate about restoring our military to greatness.

McCain isn't 'my precious', short of a policy speech he made after the ill considered deployment into Lebanon he has done little to curry favor with me. Insulting him doesn't bother me, and it doesn't really distract from Trump's idiotic remarks.

Those who made a point of resisting their captors like McCain and Stockdale are considered heroes. Do you think they are not?

He 'may not have served' is an interesting spin on a guy getting 5 separate deferments to avoid the draft...

Objectively, what has Trump proposed to do with the Department of Defense that has you so excited? Is he going to rename CVN 76 the USS Donald Trump?
