It seems that one man's hero is another's " piece of
dog crap," or "a piece of human trash." And is further seen as a "loser" for being captured and tortured by the enemy by a man who did everything he could to avoid being drafted. The New Yorker tells us that: "John McCain's conduct during nearly six years in a North Vietnamese prison, the infamous Hanoi Hilton, has become the stuff of legend. In 1968, less than a year after his navy bomber was shot down, the imprisoned McCain was abruptly offered unconditional release by the North Vietnamese." "Perhaps because his father has just been named commander of US Forces in the Pacific. McCain was still badly crippled from his crash and the poor medical treatment that followed, yet he adhered to the Prisoner Of War (POW) code of honour and refused to be repatriated ahead of American prisoners who had been in captivity longer than he." " His refusal was adament. He was tortured for his defiance and ultimately spent more than 2 years in solitary confinement. The abuse combined with the after effects of his injuries left him physically marked." "He could have avoided it all, but out of loyalty - and one has to name it - love for his comrades, he chose not to." On the other hand Donald Trump avoided being drafted. Did not serve in the military. But thought that anyone who was captured were "losers." Trump preferred people who were not captured. Thus insulting all military personnel - fighting for their country. "A piece of human trash?" Not John McCain. Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 11 February 2024 9:42:15 AM

They called him songbird because he sung like a canary.
They called him Johnny Blowback because he would light up the afterburners on deck, this set off another jet behind its munitions. - Almost destroyed the US leading supercarrier. Newspaper article 'Songbird' http://www.loc.gov/item/powmia/pwmaster_122107/ Senator McCain and the Vietnam War Prisoner of War Cover Up http://veteransforcommonsense.org/2008/09/21/senator-mccain-and-the-vietnam-war-prisoner-of-war-cover-up/ You think this guy was a hero. Who do you think the SDF were? Where did they come from? They were essentially, Sunni radicalists, probably members of ISIS that come across and swapped uniforms. These are the people this guy liked to arm to conduct overthrows. 'The Three Amigos' John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Joe Lieberman go hiking in Arizona http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/amigos-john-mccain-lindsey-graham-joe-lieberman-hiking/story?id=49318329 These three scumbags armed a lot of people they shouldn't have. They are not American heroes, they are America's shame. The fact he was in Vietnam has absolutely nothing to do with these issue. You think 'He must be a great man if Trump dislikes him'. He's not a great man, the world would've be a better place if he died in Vietnam, (as would've other Vietnam POW's) given his contribution to the world afterwards. Vietnam was a stupid war started on a lie, Gulf of Tonkin. And the US used it to perfect the targeting of civilians, as well as enrich the CIA through drug running via Air America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Program Posted by Armchair Critic, Monday, 12 February 2024 6:31:26 AM

You're right about one thing, I'm not really interested in your Trumpist outbursts. Nor do I care if your man Trump returns to the White House. Trump is just as dangerous to world peace as Biden.
