Yeah! Duty for America, or something else?

Definitely. He isnt interesed in the security of the country, only HIS own power. He shouldnt be in congress under these conditions. Undermining a sitting president that the people have elected is treasonous in my opinion.

McCain destroyed 5 aircraft when he was in the Navy - for anyone that didn't have an admiral for a father, the first would have doomed their careers. The first was actually listed as "pilot error" while at flight school. Crashing a jet at advanced flight training should have been a career-ender. He called it "engine failure", the official Navy report says "pilot error, inattention to altitude". How do we know the engine was running? (It sucked up a pile of earth on impact).

In 1961 while "clowning" over Spain, he flew so low he took out a bunch of power lines and that was the end of jet #2. He even admits it was "clowning" in his book. Again, daddy the Admiral to the rescue after taking the electricity out in numerous Spanish villages.

He was promoted to full lieutenant a few months after the Spain incident...

Then in 1965 he "borrowed" a fighter jet to fly from Mississippi to Baltimore to take in the Army-Navy game with his dad. So - cross country flight on leave, normally means buying an airline ticket for anyone else - but if your dad is an admiral, you can get some orders cut and get the F-4 fueled up. On the way back, blaming the weight of all of the Christmas gifts he bought for his family in the baggage storage area, he ended up putting that one down in the Chesapeake Bay. In his book he says he was "coming in for refueling when the engine flamed out" - or.. sounds more like he ran out of gas after getting pretty bombed at the Army Navy game (previously noted he has a problem paying attention to instruments)? This one was called a "routine ejection" by the Navy. Really? "routine"? The first report of the crash said there was no damage or failure in the engine. Then it was revised a couple of weeks later to read "engine flameout caused by failure of unknown engine component". 12 months later, he is promoted to Lieutenant Commander - no doubt the heroism of dumping a plane into the bay.

During the Forrestal fire - McCain writes about his heroism in fighting the fires after his plane was struck by the missile, etc.. but the Navy official record doesn't list his plane as being among the ones initially struck, and all the ones that were - have dead pilots among the KIAs.. but John would have us believe he jumped out of his plane after the missile flew through his belly tank and took command of the firefighting crew on deck. There is conflicting testimony that says he ran below and was watching the fire from the closed captioned tv screens.

Cant say I care for him either as he is a classic RINO. His run for President was the biggest waste of time for everyone in a long time.He was a stooge candidate taking up space to make sure the Democrats won.

The old men always used to tell us that when someone of questionable character died, they would have to screw him in the ground. Where's the screwdriver Mr. McCain?

He always refers to McCain as we don't say his name or no name

Absolutely. He should be thrown out of congress, although the lily-livered congress wont do that for fear of looking bad. McCain should just retire and be gone and live out his few months left as a man of honor, instead of what he is doing now.

Yes, but he has the best care Congress can buy, and you know it is not Obama quality....

I will never forgive McCain for forccing me to pay ridiculous obamacare premiums just so he could oppose Trump. He is just jealous that Trump won, and he lost. There must be a god that made McCain lose- imagine what damage he would have done.

Uh it was a Zuni rocket that went off, and hit another plane. It was a required study in Damage Control in the Navy, nicknamed the "Forrest Fire" and illustrated all the shortcomings. No, he was actually on the receiving end of the rocket, that hit the plane next to his.

Republicans have rarely been in favor of free markets and individual liberty. They have been the party of monopolies, protective tariffs, and and corporate welfare since the day the GOP was born. So I use CINO instead of RINO. Being Republican is more assurance of big government growth and intrusiveness as it has been from day one.
Being conservative today means being financially rational and recognizing that only free market meritocracy can deliver on raising the standard of living for everyone in the long term.

I would say he has done a lot of manipulation in the last 20 years and none of it was every any good. The finance reform act was a total waste, and he has not done much of note to improve anything, other than ensure Republicrats skim their money.

LOL.. he's scared of where he's going.

I hate to say he should be dead, but I do think he should retire from any position of power, and I do think we all should just ignore his prattlings. I wouldnt be surprised if he lost a few of his marbles over the years, or while being in captivity.

Sometimes Trump is quite rational. ;^)

When did McShame ever represent our country? It was always about him, nothing else. Come to think of it, how many of the critters in DC truly represent our country and the folks who elected them to office? Not many, if any, I'd say.

134 of them were not anyway... many of the rest were bought off over the years.

He's quite the shady dude.. his wife (Carol) kept a candle lit waiting for him to come back from the POW camp, then he meets Cindy (Ms. Phoenix Annheuser-Busch Heiress) at a White House party - and he promptly dumps Carol, marries Cindy, then uses Cindy's money to run for political office.

He and John Kerry are two peas in a pod. The Swift Boat commercials against John Kerry were awesome, he's still pissy about that - no doubt a reason he broke the Logan Act trying to undermine Trump's policy against Iran.

Uh..he didin't care, now did he? He's a politician, and a really bad character...

AJA, As a 20 year Navy fighter pilot, I am absolutely no fan of McCain, but the fire on the USS Forrestal was started by the hot exhaust from a "Huffer" (jet startng unit on a flight deck) blowing onto a pod of Zuni rockets loaded on an A-4 on the starboard side on the flight deck. The hot exhaust ignited the rocket motor and it fired across the flight deck and impacted another A-4 on the port side. Every Naval Aviator or NFO gets to watch this PLAT (pilot landing aide television system - see http://www.navy.mil/view_image.asp?id... video in "Flight Deck Fire Fighting School" a.k.a. black booger, singed eyebrow school. The official story is that Johnny was in one of the aircraft next to the one hit by the Zuni. Trying to get a "hard Light" on Pratt & Whitney J-52 is a pretty stupid thing to do, because it can break your jet. Not that Johnny boy had not done many stupid things in the past. He is after all a "Black Ace." He has destroyed 5 of his own aircraft. But a "wet start/hard light incident did not start the "Forrest Fire".
Cheers

Absolutely. It was exactly what I was thinking at the time Trump said it. McCain hated Trump from day one, probably out of jealousy the Trump won, and McCain lost.

And the health issues started at birth.

HA, so true, and conceited, arrogant and clear proof he is on the bender to end benders....

"In some people's minds, McCain is a hero..." As I've said before, McCain is the poster child for the foolishness of hero worship. Especially in his case where yesterday's hero morphs into today's village idiot.

A hero is one who does his soldiering and doesnt get caught. Who wants a soldier that accomplishes little and gets caught.

Swamp critters, both of them. Uncle Joe and McShame, what a pair.
