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!
Sherry Larson thank you
Look at the accounts and you too will know
Yep! Well known fact!
If I was to urinate on Sen. McCain when he was on fire I know it would be a waste of a perfectly good p**s… having said that this story is B.S. an a childish attempt to rile up the emotions of McCain haters. 1) McCain was an Naval Aviator not an airman. Airman is a Rank in the USAF equal to a private in the U.S. Army. No US military branch allows anything but Officers, or Warrant Officers to fight any aircraft. 2) Yes McCain was involved in the incident on the Forestsal a sidewinder missile got cooked off by the hot exhaust of the plane ahead…. This has been thoroughly investigated no damn prank!!! OF
That is what I heard.
Go very far away!
It wasn’t a prank but it was his incompetence look it up
Correct
Yes he did it and got away with it because his dad was an adarmiral
YES HE AND CHELSEA MANNING ARE BROTHER AND SISTER
