    I would not say anything GOOD or BAD about McCain being a POW. I wasn't there so I couldn't say if he was good or bad.
    Just because you are a POW does not make you a hero. He had the MISFORTUNE of getting captured!
    I can tell you JUST because you have 3 Purple hearts as I do DOES NOT MAKE ME a hero. I had the MISFORTUNE of getting hit by an RPG on my tank, and getting frags as an infantry man and getting more frags as a recon man in my armored cavalry unit.
    I can also tell you that the V A is still screwing around with my compensation rating now and it will be 50 years on aug 24, 2018 !!
    McCain never did xxxx for me when i wrote him, as a matter of fact he was INSULTING and acted like I was asking for something I didnt deserve!
    MCCain, in my humble opinion was a RINO!
    Trump is the BEST PRESIDENT in my 71 years of LIFE. All the rest were a bunch of candy assed liars who did not do what they said they would do!
    Reagan was the next best.
    LBJ, Nixon, Bush, Obama sent our guys into harms way with NO PLANS on WINNING and NO contingency plans on how to get the hell out!!
    LOSERS all !!
    Flame away!!

      OK here's the flame ... If McCain took your request for VA help and turned you down and then personally insulted you ... lets see the facts. Got a copy of the letter?

      Trumps ridicule of a man that spent 5+ years as a POW because he was captured was unforgivable ....

      McCain ... politics not withstanding...was one of us... and if we allow some flim flam Fake Reality TV Star convince us his Service was worth demeaning ....

      then shame on us

        As I once pointed out, the Purple Heart does not make you a hero (I have two) but it DOES mean you went where hundreds of millions of other Americans didn't go -- and you got close enough to the fire to get burned,

          Absolute BS. McCain was captured because he violated the rules of engagement. Every single Naval aviator was taught from day one that speed equals life and altitude prolongs it. He was too low and too slow (his fault) and got shot down.

          Carrier pilots made sharp distinction between someone who was unavoidably shot down and a pilot that made a mistake (i.e. screwed up).
          He screwed up and that does not mean he is automatically a venerated hero

          Nothing McCain did as a POW was unusual or more extreme than other POW's.

          McCain is no different, no better, than thousands of guys who served. Take Randy Cunningham (AKA The Duke) for example. He was the only Ace in the Vietnam dust up. A true hero, right. NO!!! He wound up as a thief, a liar, and spent time in Federal Prison. Tell me how we should honor him, salute him, and call him a hero... McCain is a liar, a thief, and a despicable human being whether he spent 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years in a POW camp does not matter one cent.

            sometimes your funny and sometimes your just a dick head.

            Had to post this one. Another idiot that insults a military man to his dismay.

                McCain doesn't deserve to have Trump at his funeral.

                What is it, Catullus? Why do you not make haste to die?"

                Hurry up Johnny, Benedict is waiting for you.

                  I agree, who would want that coward Trump there? Maybe Red.

                    Strawman???? What strawman? No matter what John McCain did or did not do as a Naval aviator does not excuse his life as a Republican Senator following the Democratic playbook. A hero today can and often does become a zero tomorrow. John McCain and his ilk cause 90% of the problems we have today. I met Randy Cunningham and Willie Driscoll in Pensacola Fl. in 1971. He was a prick then and a disaster as a Congressman. John McCain was a prick in 1967 and a disastor while in the Senate.

                    Tell me one good thing John McCain has done in the past 30 years.

                      Trump has more moral courage than john McCain ever had. Mccain is a pig and a crook

                              It doesn't matter what DJT wants, McCain, like all the other democrats will oppose it.

                              "I believe the Senate should exercise its duty of advice and consent and reject this nomination," the Arizona Republican said.
