Remember when he ordered the flags at half staff for Billy Graham almost immediately? This administration doesn't know what protocol is. Self serving narcissist baby.
I didn't agree with several of McCain's political actions and think we lower the flag way too often, but if you lower it for Graham, get the common decency to do the same for McCain.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

Why Has John McCain Blocked Info on MIAs?
The war hero has long sought to bury information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.
Someone in the media imagined how awesome it would be if heaven freshman, McCain and Aretha chatted it up (ignoring that one opposed MLK day and the other's father marched with MLK) beyond the pearly gates. If when McCain finishes with Aretha he has a long line of others waiting to chat, in heaven.0 -
It’s laughable that people here seem to believe there’s a Knight in shining armor out there in political world, not Bernie not Randy not Marco not Teddy and none on the Democrats side either keep searching he/she’s out there somewhere just not in our political spectrum...jesus greets me looks just like me ....0

Vietnam says John McCain helped 'heal the wounds of war'
https://www.yahoo.com/news/vietnam-says-john-mccain-helped-heal-wounds-war-083859378.htmlby James Pearson
HANOI (Reuters) - U.S. Senator John McCain was a "symbol of his generation" who helped "heal the wounds of war" by pushing for diplomatic normalization of ties with Vietnam, the Southeast Asian country's foreign minister said on Monday.
McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam who ran for president in 2008 as a self-styled maverick Republican and became a prominent critic of President Donald Trump, died on Saturday. He was 81.
"For both the government of Vietnam and its people, Senator McCain was a symbol of his generation of senators, and of the veterans of the Vietnam war," Vietnam's foreign minister Pham Binh Minh wrote in a condolence book at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi on Monday.
"It was he who took the lead in significantly healing the wounds of war, and normalizing and promoting the comprehensive Vietnam-U.S. partnership," Minh said.
McCain had been one of the most vocal proponents in Washington in favor of normalizing ties with Communist-led Vietnam, a former enemy of the United States.
His public relationship with the Southeast Asian country began as a naval aviator during the Vietnam War, when his plane was shot down during a bombing mission over Hanoi in 1967.
He suffered two broken arms, a broken leg, and was stabbed and beaten after being dragged from a lake on the edge of the downtown area of the city. He spent years as a prisoner of war at Hoa Lo prison - or the "Hanoi Hilton", as it was known to American soldiers.
A monument on the shores of the Hanoi lake where McCain was captured has turned into a de facto shrine to the late senator since news of his death reached Vietnam early on Sunday morning.
Both Vietnamese people and U.S. citizens in Hanoi have flocked to the grey, concrete monument to offer flowers, incense, flags and other tributes to McCain.
"Condolences to senator and war veteran John McCain, who greatly contributed to the normalization of Vietnam-U.S. relations," said one message in Vietnamese, left at the sculpture attached to a bouquet of flowers on Monday.

The Other Side of John McCain
By Max Blumenthal
https://consortiumnews.com/2018/08/27/the-other-side-of-john-mccain/This article explains perfectly why I loathed the guy.
I will again point out the hypocrisy I mentioned earlier in this thread...where were the calls for 'class' from the supposed left on this board when HRC was on national TV belly laughing and saying 'we came, we saw, he died' after a leader was publicly sodomized with a bayonet in her name?
Hypocrites.
No respect for McCain the living, no respect for McCain the dead.

I'd say we lost most of those. But it isnt a fair judgment on abilities or cost. Our goal wasnt to take over Vietnam or Korea, and the fact we tried to make it more of a policing issue than a war impact how effective it was. Even though most of those countries would say they "won," they suffered a lot more than we did. When a country has everything to lose they will fight to the end, and it just got to the point where even our politicians agreed it wasn't worth it and pulled out.mcgruff10 said:
Kuwait/Iraq 1991? We didn’t lose in korea. Hell you could say we technically didn’t lose Vietnam since we pulled out in 1973. Iraq 2003? Panama? Grenada?Meltdown99 said:Has America been on the winning side of a conflict since WW2 ... I mean, you guys should be the best at war ... you've had enough practice.
Not to mention a 700 billion military budget? You quite literally suck at it ...
The Cold War? Bosnia and Kosovo? Somalia?
But I couldn't argue we won most of those.0 -
McCain was so crazed about killing, he killed even by accident!

McCain was personally responsible for the deadliest fire in the history of the US Navy. That catastrophe, with 27 dead and over 100 wounded
