It makes no difference what you think of his politics. He paid his dues and EARNED our respect. We lost a good man.

RIP John

And served with some former POW’s they never quit, most never complained just continued to serve. Being young at the time (20) I was deeply affected by their commitment to country. Totally changed my life.

Oorah, John.

Thanks

serve in the military, although all of the men in my life have and I have supported them... my husband in 2000 had a McCain bumper sticker on our truck... I was ok with that... and that was the only time I have been ok with being associated with a Republican

John McCain was a man of his time and I believe a good man (with a bit of faulty Republican thinking )... may he rest in peace and sympathies to his family.

God Bless You Rest In Peace John McCain

The tap code was incredible

should try to blemish this experience of Sen. McCain. He could have been out in 8 months IF he had made a statement against the war and he said NO. You're right. He was a patriot. Now the Vietnam War that's another thing. I did my 13 months in that country. And came home anti-war--anti-imperialist to the marrow of my bones. PNAC is a reality. And no, I didn't want to see 1,000,000MILLION Iraqui civilians slaughtered, because of a lie. 5000+ American soldiers slaughtered by this country because of a lie. 15-20000 in the care of our VA. Depleted uranium 'burn pits, TBI in thousands targeted for just that injury to add to our costs of taking care of our wounded for life. And a continuing 'soft war'. And still in Afghanistan that the deplorable idiot potus might turn over to 'blackwater' type mercenaries.

I dismiss his politics also, but not the man.

My brother

I will never for get his response to the woman who was spreading out right lies about Obama. His response stood in stark contrast to his fellow Republicans who either openly endorsed the lies and continue to do so and the chicken shit Republicans whose silence was (to borrow the phrase) deafening.

reminded of that.....I do remember. We who served must, as you say, honour the vet for his sacrifice.

Think how long ago since that was a thing. How much of your life that was. That's what he gave up.

Leaving a sonic boom in their wake, over Luke AFB and Annapolis in honor of his service to our country.

Thank you for that!
