That said, the author of the posted piece, David Hackworth, died in 2005.
Much has happened, much to be thoughtfully analyzed, since 2005
Hack is always a good read.
Yet he didn't want us to get information from our enemies to save our military members or citizens lives.
I am no fan of McCain. But if he signed a bogus confession to avoid further torture, I have no problem with that. It’s not a Rambo movie out there. Nonetheless, he was also not that much of a hero either.
mccain was a Vietnam communist collaborator. He was a blatant traitor to the United States Americans that fought with valor and honor.

McCain is confirmed, a traitor in violation of the UCMJ and federal statutes covering treason:

Yes.
McCain served his country and we should honor him for that.
He has passed away.
America remembers him and it is time to move on.
RIP, Sen. McCain.
Ate a few too many bugs while at the Hanoi Hilton has always been my assumption.....
Did McCain ever act honorably? We have seen his character time and time again, that tells me all I need to know.

The UCMJ requires a different course. McCain violated the UCMJ. Other POWs were beaten worse and did not break.
A true hero would die before signing a false confession.
But the real wrong that McCain committed was that he allowed the tape of his confession to be buried for decades while he played to the lie by the corporate media that he was a ‘hero’.
McCain wanted to boost his image as a ‘hero’ when in fact the real heroes lay dying and rotting in the jungles.
McCain was hated because he was an ‘Admiral’s Boy’ that got special attention and special favors, and he thought himself a prince looking down his nose at common folk. He was a phony and people around him could see right through him.
Did he just do bombing missions or did he ever actually shoot down enemy aircraft.?
Fair question.....right?
Just never heard.
Wasn’t there a story about him being offered freedom, but he refused it so as to stay with the other POWs for years? Is there anything to that story?
What a stupid question.
Have you ever worn a uniform?
McCain is no “war hero” - and what kind of brainless a-hole compares McCain to Audie Murphy?
F*** John McCain.
I hope he is rotting in hell.
F*** him, and F*** his entire family!
And while I’m at it - F*** George W. Bush too.
A coward can never rest. McShame proved his cowardice for the last time when he made his funeral arrangements.
He was.an A-4 driver. Light.attack bomb delivery.
I agree let’s move on, but the sob still isn’t in the ground. Bury him already
