McCain is widely despised by US Veterans for his prominent role in covering up US POW/MIA's in Vietnam. A lot of good men died alone in some hellish SE Asian cage because of him and his friends who chose covering for the Political Establishment rather than helping bring our boys home. 

 

This expose was written by Syndey Schanberg, who won a Pulizter for his coverage of the War in Cambodia and whose work the film "The Killing Fields" is based on. Predictably, it got almost no coverage in the major Establishment Newspapers in America:  http://www.unz.com/article/mccain-and-the-pow-cover-up/

It begs the question; where will the Trump Library be? And who will be the donors that cough up the several hundred million these things tend to cost?

Would anyone liked to speculate on the books ( if any ! ) and other media items that might make up the Trump library ....when the "event happens "   ?? Moscow might have some input !

I recall a briefing many years ago while I was in the Air Force from a Vietnam War POW.  He said he and other POW's made a point of keeping track of each other to ensure none were left behind, and for that reason he didn't believe there were any American POW's left behind.

 

He also said everyone broke eventually under torture, and a great deal of time was spent re-assuring these men that they had not actually betrayed their county.

 

However I'm sure you wouldn't post the above if you and Syndney Schanberg weren't also former POW's who had endured years of confinement and torture without breaking.  Why don't you tell us about it?

Trump showing us just what he is and what he stands for; small minded, angry, petty, vindictive and callous. Ne really does introduce a new low to all he touches. 

What you fail to understand is that near on 50% of the voting public disagrees with you. They love him.

He could shoot you in the main street and they would defend him, the supreme court would find him not guilty,

and they would dig up some false dirt to incriminate you.

This is the reality of USA now, where crimes committed overseas by US personnel may not be investigated.

And the incumbent is far above that level of protection. 

The intent of the law and constitution is being denied, you got yourself a president above the law, past present and future. 

Suck it up. Yay USA, all the way.... (suckers)

It is a sad reflection on every US military former personnel, that a

phoney sore spur heel draft dodger now further denigrates a military man who served his country with distinction.

And now that he has gone, he further tries to denigrate him.

Despite every other loathsome thing the incumbent has done that is misguided to say the least, an attack on an honourable dead person is beyond the pale.

The sad thing is that this will only increase his standings among his base.

I visited his "prison" (a small tilted concrete block" in Hanoi.

The scum who deride him have no idea what he went through.

And when he returned he bought with him an idea to cease crazy US radical policy, 

Which time and time again kills US servicemen and results in lame withdrawals from invaded countries.

You think that US talks with Taliban is a win.

How many died to have a lame meaningless retreat. (Same again for Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia, now Syria et al)

That US military is a joke because when the going gets tough, we go home. Which is where you belong.

 

That’s our Donald one jealous vindictive piss poor excuse for a human being rich white trash

Well he is at it again attacking again today he needs medical attention 

I suspect all non spur heel draft dodgers who served their country will despair at this abuse to them.

You pathetic leader Mr Trump, Mr McCain is honourable. The other crap about him covering up his own

treatment as a POW is laughable. He was interned in hellish conditions.

And someone disputes this. Oh Yay, USA, you will despoil anyone for political reasons.

Name one inmate at "Hanoi Hilton" who condemns him.

Trump is arguing with a corpse, and the corpse is winning.

And if you actually read the link you would have seen that the article has merely been reprinted there. Schadberg is a life long leftist who spent the bulk of his career working for the NY Times. He also worked at New York Newsday (another lefty publication) and The Village Voice (which is on par with The Nation in terms of ideological Leftism).

You are right. I should have read it.

How about this image of a veteran from the Iraq War- a conflict that John McCain was perhaps the most rabid cheerleader for in all of the US Congress and for which he never apologized.

Was McCain the President during the Iraq War?  Nevermind.  You seem to be "all-in" when it comes to defending Trump.  But this is really indefensible...not to mention self-defeating.  McCain was a Republican and one of the most respected conservatives of his generation.  It makes no sense to continually attack him.  I never agreed much with the man's politics, but I've always thought of him as an honorable and decent man.  Those are words I can never use to describe Trump.

Trump's brain must be spinning in its grave.

Republicans are fools for putting up with Trump. They should invoke the 25th before he destroys them.

McCain may have been a war mongering hawk but he doesn't deserve to have that uneducated orange buffoon stomping on his grave.

General Bone Spurs.

Just another fake American businessman who graduated from uni courtesy of a heavy brown envelope.

 

As he does routinely, Trump takes credit for law named after Sen. J McCain (John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act) 

Full transcript and facts check.

McCain is utterly despised by Conservatives. Trump bashed him all through the election campaign and it didn't hurt him with Republican Primary voters in the slightest (Trump won McCain's home state of Arizona by nearly 25 points in the 2016 GOP Primary). And thank God McCain wasn't President during the Iraq War or we probably would have launched a simultaneous invasion of Iran and North Korea while we were at. McCain was the guy who was advocating WWIII with Russia after Georgia invaded South Ossetia and the Russians drove them back. The man is a complete warmongering loon. He is despised by Conservatives, despised by Veterans, and the only group that actually respects McCain are the Bankers (yes, he was one of the Senators involved in the Keating Five Scandal) and the Globalist Elite who he dedicated his life to serve.

The simple fact is that John McCain was everything Trump would like to be, but never, ever will be.

 

John McCain was a war hero. He was an honourable man. He was a man who cared for others. He was a man who received respect because he earned it. He was a man of principle who stood for something other than his own selfish interests. He was a great, but flawed, man. 

 

Donald Trump is an ever-expanding cloud of toxic waste that defiles everything it touches.

 

It is wrong to even mention these two men in the same post, but Mr Trump has a way of sullying everything around him...

 

 

 

You're going off in a lot of directions here.

1. McCain was everything Trump would like to be, but never, ever will be. - You have no idea about this and in light of Trumps success it would seem utterly wrong.

2. He was a great, but flawed, man. - President Donald Trump is a great but flawed man. I'm not great, but I'm flawed. You are not great and certainly you qualify as flawed. What the heck is your point with this? 

3. President Donald Trump reached out to N.Korea while every President before him only pointed weapons at this country. As President Lincoln once said, "the best way to destroy your enemy is to make him your friend". President Trump gets no accolades from the doves only more hate. Why would a dove not choose peace over war?

 

That you don't like Trump is more a reflection of your own thinking than that of any valid arguments. If McCain would have been President someone like you would have been a hater of McCain. The majority of Trump haters are simpletons, the minority are wealth mongering status seekers.

Care to provide sources that support your claim that McCain was despised by Republicans, conservatives or veterans?

 

What evidence to you have that McCain would have launched invasions of Iran and North Korea if he had been elected President?

 

Can you provide sources that support your claim that McCain was advocating WWIII?  By the way, South Ossetia is part of Georgia; Georgia didn't invade itself.

 

Whenever I see a poster new to Thai Visa posting over the top praise of Trump, condemnation of decent Americans, and/or pro-Russia views I suspect someone working for a Russian Troll farm.

What you call "reached out to N.Korea" most people call being duped by North Korea in exchange for a photo-op.  North Korea got international recognition, an end to joint military exercises between South Korea and the U.S., and cover for China and Russia to ease sanctions out of the Trump-Kim meeting; Trump got North Korea to "end" testing that had already accomplished its purpose.  Past history tells us that North Korea's end to testing will be temporary.

 

Also, one only needs to watch a Trump rally with supporters cheering incoherent speech and outright lies to know who the simpletons are.
