When is the media going to realize that this is not a man they are going to force to "wimp-out" like all the politicians do? Trump will prolly not be the GOP Nominee in 2016, but he sure as hell is stirring the pot. YA GOTTA LOVE IT!

Thanks to McCain and his Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, their legislation to cover up the VA scandal, in which 1,000+ veterans died waiting for medical care, made sure no one has been punished, charged, jailed, fined or held responsible. McCain has abandoned our veterans.

That sounds like a pattern for McCain. Legislation to block help for vets and cover up his tracks.

Hurdles and limitations

Finally, in addition to these hurdles and limitations, the McCain act does not specifically order the declassification of the information. Further, it provides the Defense Department with other justifications for withholding documents. One such clause says that if the information “may compromise the safety of any United States personnel … who remain not accounted for but who may still be alive in captivity, then the Secretary [of Defense] may withhold that record or other information from the disclosure otherwise required by this section.”

Boiled down, the preceding paragraph means that the Defense Department is not obligated to tell the public about prisoners believed alive in captivity and what efforts are being made to rescue them. It only has to notify the White House and the intelligence committees in the Senate and House. The committees are forbidden under law from releasing such information.

McCain goes further to hurt future POWs...

Another bill gutted in 1996

And then there is the Missing Service Personnel Act, which McCain succeeded in gutting in 1996. A year before, the act had been strengthened, with bipartisan support, to compel the Pentagon to deploy more resources with greater speed to locate and rescue missing men. The measure imposed strict reporting requirements.

McCain amended the heart out of the statute. For example, the 1995 version required a unit commander to report to his theater commander within two days that a person was missing and describe what rescue and recovery efforts were underway. The McCain amendments allowed 10 days to pass before a report had to be made.

One of these days Donald is going to drag out 0bama’s birth certificate again and this time for real. Then things will get interesting. Very interesting.

I know he doesn’t need it, but I feel compelled to send the Donald a donation just to say “Thank you!”

I really hope he and Cruz are somehow working together in this and are allies.

This guy has the biggest 2 brass ones. Trump is shining the light on how PC the other candidates are. They all care only about their power in DC, while the middle class and country is literally being invaded by criminals.

Don’t back down. The media will lose interest and he will still be standing.

The hacks expect an easy win after a heavy barrage. It is what happens far too often today. When someone like Trump doesn’t fold, then they will leave the issue in a huff.
