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!
Never a hero only a zero!!!
Unfortunately people have no idea who MCC really is & how he’s not a hero. He was pardoned for treason. I don’t think that qualifies him as a hero.
I hope those 134 sailors haunt you even in your grave.
He’s a traitor all the way around
Yes he did!
I believe it. He is the most obnoxious blowhard ever and when you consider the things he did not even counting the Forrestal…well……
“including at least 30 and up to a possible 38 propaganda films that emphatically stated that the US bombing jets were specifically and purposefully targeting North Vietnamese civilians!”
“John McCain. This sad excuse for an American politician (and that’s saying something) has been instrumental, along with his very good friend and comrade, John Kerry, in burying evidence that POW/MIA military personnel were left behind in the jungles of Indochina regions purposefully in order to avoid paying reparations to those enemy governments. They knew this. They hid it.”
He and Kerry should both be hung for abandoning our POWs. Those men got the same dirty treatment that Hillary dished out to our guys in Bengazi….They all make me sick.
What was the reason Nixon had to pardon him?
That would make him guilty of murder.
The pictures speak for themself. Why would the US Navy use it for a training film if they wished to cover it up ?
how could he set a fire from behind his expensive desk in Washington ?
