McCain’s actions as a pow were heroic, he was a credit to the uniform.
His actions as a Senator were horrendous he sold out the GOP regularly for his own agrandizement.
As a Presidential candidate, he was a loser.
What does his political record have to do with him being a POW?i Insult his politics all you want. there was no reason to bring his war record into it.
And that was the moment I decided I could never, under any circumstances, vote for the likes of Donald Trump. Disagreeing with McCain’s politics is one thing. Insulting his service as a POW is quite another.
My own grandfather was a POW during WWII. I saw the pain it had caused in his life. For Trump to insult the service of a POW was beyond despicable. It shows he is not fit to be the commander - in - chief.
What do we have to tell Team Obama? Obama knows full well not to criticize someone’s military service.
As Obama delivered a speech here Monday on patriotism that tried to defuse attacks on his own background, he responded to the remarks of Wesley Clark, the retired general and onetime Democratic presidential candidate who suggested on Sunday that McCain had not been tested as a wartime commander.
“For those like John McCain who have endured physical torment in service to our country, no further proof of such sacrifice is necessary,” Obama said. “And let me also add that no one should ever devalue that service, especially for the sake of a political campaign - and that goes for supporters on both sides.”
