Didn't always agree with his politics, but still a great American. RIP.

From what I gather, John McCain may have been up to some pretty sinister stuff before brain cancer limited his ability to do much.
He may have been a hero during wartime, but he wasn't much of a hero the last few years.
Sorry he suffered at the hands of the Vietnamese, and that the way he ultimately died. He's a braver man than I will ever be.

He's standing in front of THE ALMIGHTY right now as we speak, as only HE will know the truth of McCain's life....

John McCain was a perfect poster child of a war hero and a to be envied warrior.
BUT
In his political life he chose to let many of his fellow warriors die at the hands of a very poorly maintained VA hospital system. All though, he had a perfect platform as US Senator and Congressman to continue his warrior image for a very worthy cause.....his fellow warriors. For decades, he chose to let them wait endlessly for inferior health care. Instead, he chose to be a political TOOL for the New Democrat Party and the MSM. I will pray to God for your forgiveness.

RIP. He had the balls to cross party lines and speak his mind even when it was risky. Would have won in 2008 had he followed his instincts about the VP choice.

I attended two events that he was part of, the first I was to ask him a gun related question he responded with a thoughtful answer. The second time he looked at me and said "another second amendment question"?, those instances were years apart and I will credit him for having a good memory and a good sense of humor. He traveled with a group of politicians at these events and seemed to manage not only the room but the people he was with. At one of the events was previous Governor of New Hampshire (1973 to 1979) Meldrim Thomson Jr who coined "Ax the Tax", who gladly repeated it a few times after being introduced by Senator John McCain. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing John McCain and what he had to say, both occasions he traveled to New Hampshire for someone else and was the most likable politician in the room.
Thank You for your service John McCain, RIP.
