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!
Yes a moot dead and hurt , Dad fly him off plane he NEVER lifted a hand to help , watched it from s monitor from the officers Qtrs. Traitprv bastard!!
BROKE HIS BONES WHEN HE EJECTED!
He introduced bill to SEAL RECORDS of All POWS. INTERESTING, huh?
Yes. Yes he did.
I do not think there is any doubt that his actions cause that disaster !!!
Yes
YES
His father and grandfather created a monster. They can take their share of the blame for the deaths this freak caused. I was alive when this happened and I have never forgotten what a disaster this moron was and is and has not paid for one of these deaths here on earth. But judgement day will come.
TRAITOR
COMPLETE LIE. John McCain DID NOT cause the fire aboard USS Forrestal. The rocket was fired by a plane parked on the opposite side of the flight deck. Caused by static electricity. The entire air department was knowingly taking shortcuts by bypassing safety procedures involving arming pig tails. McCain’s plane was struck by the zuni missile. He could not have caused the catastrophe. Trust me. I hate the traitorous bastard, but this is just false.
