We have all heard the stories about Senator John McCain’s exemplary military service. We have all been treated to the endless references to his wounds from the war that were inflicted through his agonizing years of torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese.
We are all, by now, through one term as a US Representative, five terms as a US Senator (and counting), and three presidential primary runs where he was expected in the early going in 1999 to be able to defeat Al Gore, familiar with his excellence in service to America. Of course, in that race, he ultimately bowed to the superiority of the Bush family when George W. came on the scene to wrap up the primary race in a big way and ultimately embarrass the senator with a win of 47 states.
McCain tried again in 2004 to a worse jumping-off point, but rebounded in 2008, winning the primary, only to be completely consumed by the massive and corrupt political activist machine powered by the cult of personality that was Barack Obama. You could almost call John McCain the slightly less feminine version of Hillary Clinton.
This is not to mention all the completely fawning press coverage that he has enjoyed over the decades since his return from captivity in 1973 (with the notable exception of his run against the hallowed personage of Obama…even the press is not going to cut their throats that deeply for a dirty Republican).
We now know that all of the lies that were told about his captivity were the first chapter in a mythology for the purposes of a long and lucrative political career. We know about how he and John Kerry paired to bury information about POW/MIA personnel to hide their own shameful past in the “prisons” of Indochina.
Allegations have been made by many that the hellish inferno aboard the USS Forrestal in 1967 that caused 134 sailors and airmen to lose their lives…all due to a PRANK by then airmen John McCain!
Most of us knew that
TRUE!!!!!!
And this “man” has the a gall to bad mouth the President!
Father God, the the truth be told about John McCain. Amen.
While he was in the Navy he was married. When he came home he dumped his wife that stood by him and started running with young girls. He found Cindy. She was the daughter of the largest beer distributor in Arizona. He and Cindy married and with her dad’s pull he got into politics. Maybe the reason he called for Roy Moore to quit the senate race is because of his guilt.
This s.o.b.is guilty
They buried the reports from POWs, but they could not silence them. They told their stories…just dig a little deeper.
When one lived through this era, sometimes the truth will emerge.
were you, Mr., Langford? they just recently had a very good documentary about the war in Vietnam on PBS…..and there is definite proof of his careless actions…only reason they were covered up, is because Pappy and Grnadpappy were bigshots in thre Military…..read it up….you might learn a thing or two…
The same day the fire on the Forrestal he and only he was transferred to the uSS Oriskiny .Why ?
