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!
Traitor!
So two four star admirals covered up this pos murderers crimes and you think they are heros?? I say the entire family are stinking criminal traitors.
I’m NO fan of McCain…. However, this is a F**E News story and does a disservice to the truth and the real hero’s of that day and those that gave their lives. There are plenty of truthful accounts of the events on board the USS Forrestal that day, along with actual videos of the event.
I know people despise McCain (as I do) , however fabricated stories accepted by readers…. does dishonor to our Navy and it’s brave members who paid the ultimate sacrifice that day off the coast of Vietnam .
HELL YES
John McCain, Desertion, Treason, Corruption. MURDER. TRAITOR
Yes
I worked on board the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE, I heard of some rumors about MCCAIN after working on the flight deck. We talked a bit about it, but that was before our time on board the ship. He deserves to lose his rank as an officer and lose his pension.
if his father wasn’t an admiral he’d been in prison long ago
Bob Zahn,GO ahead and call my FATHER a liar ,he IS dead now butt like I said the whole family was trash ,I’ll bet the Russians HAVE THOSE recordings ,WONDER WHY THY ARE NOT USING THEM ? ? ? ? ? HUH BOB ???
May he rot in hell, he’ll be there soon
