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!
Yes he did
His Hell is coming up soon and he’s not seeming to care FOR NOW. He will. I’d love to watch him meet his maker and use his $ to buy his way out
Yes he did
I believe that Trump new what he did because he said that John McCain was no hero. Trump smarter then what people give him credit for
He’s a killer.
The one with the biggest mouth usually has the most to hide. Besides he’s guilty till proven innocent right
It is true. It has not been debunked. Throw out all the excuses you want. It was his third cover up.
Daddy covered his$#%&!@*trail his entire life
In regards to McCain’s navy rank. If he was in the Navy and not the Marines, then a captain in the Navy is a high rank. The Navy rank up to captain is , ensign, lieutenant jg, lieutenant, lieutenant commander, commander and then captain. On the other hand, if he was in the Marines, then the officer ranking to captain are , second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and then captain. So if he was in the Navy he achieved a respectable rank of captain. Many career Navy officers are lucky to reach commander. However, if he was in the Marines his rank achievement after 23 years is disgraceful.. the reality is he is no hero but used that status to his advantage. He should have been court marshaled for the forestall incident. At the minimum he should have been given prison time and a dishonorable discharge. Beyond that, his antiAmerican videos and his divulging of flight paths to the enemy while a pow, should not have warranted a pardon from a potus but a court marshal for high treason! His daughter has more loyalty to America in her little toe than her fathers entire body and career!
True! He is responsible!
