Reminds one of the spectacle produced by the Nazi elites upon the “demise” of Reinhardt Heydrich. Not comparing John McCain to Heydrich, mind you, just the over the top funeral production.
A better example would be Paul von Hindenburg's funeral. Von Hindenburg was the enemy of the Nazis and despised them, and the Nazis despised him too. But they still staged a massive funeral for him as a "War Hero".
