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!
About 50 yrs late isn’t it!!!
McCain was I believe the pilot who dropped the ordinance that caused the USS Forestal fire, and killed the sailors.
Give it a rest.
NO HERO,
Yes he did, if not for his dad being an admiral he would have gone to jail. He was pardoned by Nixon, he crashed several planes , he was a hot shot.
Bob Zahn what’s your purpose here? No need to answer I ask the same question to every “TROLL SEEKER”. They go to sites with the most comments. Don’t matter what topic it is. But helps that 90% of comments who have the same content,mostly over their head since they dont have a clue what people are commenting about.
So to get attention they will insult people or the President. Their all over fb and Twitter. Usually can spot them by their profile pic. Best just to ignore them,they’ll move on.
To me this man is a tarter if it was not for his father and granddad he would be in prison. And don’t forget Kerry another one who is the same democrats will cover any garbed to be successful. Lie Cheat what ever it takes and if a few die well that happens. It looks like no one cares about the people just them selfs and what they can get for them selfs.
I’m not sure mercy is called for.
Yes.
YES HE DID
