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!
Have you got a link for the pardon document as they are public record
On the film you can see the A-4s get hit by the Zuni rocket. Their tails were pointing off deck to the port. So how exactly did this wet start set off anything?
Because the North Vietnamese would rather him nick named ‘tight lips’ ? Propaganda wins wars !
Ahhh lol Soros is 89 years old ! Do you think he gives a$#%&!@*about all the idiots who think he wants to rule the world ! Sad
So by covering it up they thought the best idea was to use it as a training film and then have it on You Tube !
Indeed he did!
He was pardoned by Pres Nixon of treason. NEVER a HERO! Should not be able to be buried in Arlington.
Not surprised. He is no hero .
McCain has never passed a bill or done anything worthwhile for the VETERANS.! The biggest scandal to ever hit this country started in his own state Arizona. Where VETERANS were dying waiting years to get doctors appointments! How terribly Sad? Mccain is all about mccain and what’s in it for him. He’s lived off the back of hard working Americans and stolen by far more from taxpayer dollars than he could ever repay, McCain a thief and murderer!
Yes he did! And he rolled on the pow”s as well
