So, you are writing about when McCain and Kerry were in the Senate.

You simply cannot follow the conversation.

The conversation is about being in the war and being captured.

Is that “ heroic?” I guess in the definition of the late 20th century it was. it was not in my opinion. But he WAS there. Trump was not.

They were chairman of the committee that hid THEIR own records in the Vietnam war. THEY could both promote their own hero statice since they were able to classify the truth and make it unavailable to the public!

They presented the “facts” of their service to the media as they wanted it reported. (Propaganda) NOT as facts from the records (Truth)

It was relevant now and is relevant as future history.

Your knowledge of history is lacking. Are you young and have no memory of the hearings or were you not paying attention?

I had a neighbor whose mother just wanted to know where her son was last spotted etc. Anything. It wasnt bad enough that she had no body to bury McCain and Kerry destroyed all hope of her ever being given ANY information.
For me it’s personal. I remember her tears and my mothers as she held her. McCain can rot in hell
