As McCain’s rants about how Obama is responsible for the current assault by the ISIS...

I am absolutely fucking amazed that he was never called out for his cowardice during his imprisonment in North Vietnam.... I understand how torture can redefine one’s soul.. But you would think that after all he went through in Vietnam he would have had a different slant on war, rather than backing and promoting every type of military action which puts our young men in harm’s way.

Loves to call others cowards in a indirect manner.. Fuck him..

criticize him for anything he did as a POW

what we criticize him for is he is now a war-hawk and his actions with Berghdahl removed any credibility he ever had

It should be pointed out that if he hadn't voted for an Iraqi War, conducted by corrupt and incompetent Neo-Cons, the conditions for Isis to arise in Iraq would not exist.

Some of his fellow prisoners did not like him very well but the whole POW experience tends to set you apart from criticism. Too bad similar understanding is not being afforded a recent POW who like McCain was apparently tortured.

as a badge of honor--conferring credibility--when everyone I know who has been to war doesn't talk about it (except among themselves). Makes me think his days in Hanoi were not as bad as he has claimed. In fact, it makes me think he's a coward who doth protest too much.
