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, and the records of it was done away with so no one could see them because his Father was in charge of the Navy at that time of his Service career.
Yes he did. But daddy and granddaddy were admirals so it was coveted up.
Damn sociopath!
Yes he did. His dad cleaned the mess up for him.
YES HE DID!!!McCain is a F’cking pile of c**p

the ranks you mention are Marine ranks. captain is equavilent to the lieutenant in the Navy. Both are third from the bottom of commissioned officers. The Marines are a branch of the Navy. Now if he attained the rank of Captain in the Marines he is third from the bottom of officers. But if he was a captain in the Navy he was actually three ranks higher than a Marine Captain. If he was only a captain in the Marines then he must have been passed over many times. But if he was a captain in the Navy that is impressive. Above that rank use to be commodore then five ranks of Admiral. The question is was McCain in the Marines or the Navy?
It’s all true … But Dady got him off and also off the ship right away so no body would kill him for what he did
I have read plenty about McCain and you are the only person I’ve heard saying it is f**e. 1 out of thousands that I’ve seen over the years
I was just coming out of Navy boot camp when that incident occurred. I also remember the tapes mccain made denouncing the bombing on Tv. He was a privilege son whose father opened doors so he could become a pilot. He was rumored to be a bad student but his connections overlooked that. He was also pardoned by the president for treason! You cannot change the spots on that cat!
Look up his despicable military record. He is not & never was a hero. He is a shameful creature.
