Related: About this forumJohn McCain should keep his fucking mouth shut concerning our President’s Action concerning
the prisoner swap...
The article below especially highlights Senator McCains attempt to prevent any and all searches for Vietnam Prisoners during the late 80s...Family members of the missing were simply furious..
Why would an ex-prisoner of the North Vietnamese be so antagonistic to programs that would search for lost American Soldiers... Me thinks that John might have been afraid of the results... You know...His prepared statements to the press while in prison ... They certainly were not something that he could have taken pride in... Read for yourself...

(31,990 posts)What upsets you about McCain's statement --he only gave one -- how long under torture would you have held out? Are you upset that he refused to meet with anti-war groups seeking to give the Vietnamese a propaganda victory? The slander of our Vietnam war POWs continues...

(8,515 posts)decades...You mentioning a "Propaganda Victory for the Vietnamese as a question? Sounds as though you feel that we are still fighting that aspect... We murdered tens of thousands of Civilians in a war based on absolute lies.. and you still are talking Propaganda?
Anyone who still talks about the monolithic spread of Communism as a reason for going to war in Southeast Asia is an idiot!! McCain is an idiot!!!

But he lacks the courage and wisdom. If we have learned anything about McCain, he never had either.

(16,984 posts)I'll have to find the link (The clip aired on last night's show and might not be up yet). It was all part of a set-up for a first segment of The Rachel Maddow Show dealing with how members of the GOP support a position, leaving audio and video and sometimes written evidence for it, and then reverse course when the president actually takes action.
