He served his country and he was hero while confined by the vietnamese animals. He deserves our thanks and respect for that.

His political career should be for another day another thread.

Yup.

I like Trumps economics but he was way off base regarding John McCain's military service.

IMO...Trump should be embarrassed to even use the words "military service" in a sentence.

McCain requested that GWB and Obama eulogize him.

Also requested that Trump stay home

He and Dick Cheney are kings of deferments.

But could we ever believe McCain?

John McCain’s personal account of his life has shaped a powerful political narrative that accords him deference on the full range of policy issues. His first effort at shaping that narrative received a remarkable boost when the May 14, 1973, edition of U.S. News & World Report gave him space for what is perhaps the longest article the magazine had ever run, a 12,000-word piece composed entirely of his unedited and often rambling account of his prisoner-of-war experience. Ever since, McCain has added compelling details at key points in his political career. When his stories are placed beside documented evidence from other sources, significant contradictions often emerge. One such case involves McCain’s experience in the devastating fire and explosions that killed 134 sailors on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal during the Vietnam War three months before he was shot down over North Vietnam. McCain has made claims about this accident that differ dramatically from parts of the official Navy report and accounts of reliable eyewitnesses.

No doubt we'll never get the straight skinny on this tragic story. The truth was buried with McCain.

How do you feel about Obama's military service? Probably couldn't have passed the drug test anyway.
