McCain says Trump never apologized for 'war hero' dighttp://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/24/mccain-says-trump-never-apologized-for-war-hero-dig.html
Sen. John McCain revealed on Sunday that President Trump never apologized to him for suggesting on the campaign trail that the senator and Vietnam prisoner wasn’t a war hero.
In an interview with CBS’ "60 Minutes" Sunday night, McCain, R-Ariz., said that he’d be open to “rapprochement” with Trump.
"He's not a war hero," Trump said.
"He was a war hero because he was captured," he said in Iowa in June 2015. "I like people who weren’t captured."
McCain, 81, languished for more than five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam after his plane was shot down in 1967 during combat. McCain was released in March of 1973.

Injuries sustained from being tortured left the veteran unable to lift his arms above his head.
The Arizona senator said that the two share different values, thus making them different people.
"He is in the business of making money and he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others. I was raised in a military family," McCain said. "I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country is the … is the lodestar for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day."
McCain's office announced in July the lawmaker was diagnosed with a brain tumor, known as a glioblastoma, associated with a blood clot above his left eye.
In August, upon returning to the Senate floor, McCain cast the deciding vote against an Obamacare repeal-and-replace bill, something Trump strongly has been pushing for.
When asked if he voted "no" as a way to get back at Trump, McCain said "life is too short" to worry about every thing someone has said to someone else.
"If I took offense at everybody who has said something about me, or disparaged me or something like that — life is too short. You've gotta move on," McCain said. "And on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then I'm not doing my job."

What a load of self aggrandizing crock. He hasn't done anything but betrayed the American people since he took office. Fuck you chipmunk!

The Real John McCain

This article was written by JJ Paul McCartney who says:
For anyone who doesn’t know the real John McCain let me help you get to know
him. And remember this doesn’t even mention his traitorous acts while he was
a POW.
Okay, people…before John McCain dies and the ridiculous “tributes” to the man make me vomit, let’s remember what McCain’s real legacy is: His father was the Admiral in charge of the Pacific fleet prosecuting the war in
Vietnam Nam.
Because of this McCain got preferential treatment in the Navy. He was allowed to become a Navy pilot. But he was a terrible pilot.
McCain crashed two Navy Jets in his early career. Then while aboard the Aircraft Carrier USS Forrestal, McCain got angry because he had to wait in line to take off on a bombing run.
He shut off his engines, opened the cockpit, and in his haste to exit the aircraft to chew someone out about his having to ” wait”, he hit the button that released his live bombs onto the deck of the Forrestal.
He took off running, as the bombs exploded, which set off a chain reaction of bombs from adjacent aircraft, and the ensuing explosions and fires killed 133 sailors aboard the Forrestal.
While his fellow sailors were fighting the fire, McCain went to the pilot’s lounge below decks and watched the men fight the fire on closed circuit TV.
Hours later, McCain took off with a New York Times reporter buddy of his, and went on to say that after seeing the effects of those bombs on the Forrestal, he was beginning to question the morality of dropping those bombs on the Viet Cong.
McCain was the direct cause of 133 deaths on his own ship, and was never reprimanded. He was nowhere to be found as the Forrestal had to limp to the Philippines for months of repair work.
McCain was married then. His wife was stricken with debilitating injuries in an automobile accident. And was hospitalized for more than 5 months. McCain was off gallivanting with anything in a skirt.
Upon returning from Vietnam Nam, McCain found his wife was disfigured by her injuries, which included a shattered pelvis, arm, and legs. In order to save her legs, doctors performed 23 surgeries on her, and had to remove significant portions of the bones in her legs, which left he shorter, and unable to walk, and in a wheelchair, she had to use a catheter.
McCain was disinterested in his first wife’s predicament. She had to go through grueling physical therapy to learn to walk again.
After McCain left the Navy, he was intent on a career in politics. He and His wife Carol had gotten to know Ronald and Nancy Reagan, and McCain was eager to jump into politics.
But he decided he needed a more visually pleasing young woman by his side. He callously divorced Carol, the mother of his three children, and
immediately jumped into the sack with new wife Cindy, who was 18 years
younger.
Upon learning of this, the Reagans were shocked and angered by how he had
treated Carol.
While campaigning for congress, McCain used pictures of himself posing with Mr. And Mrs. Reagan, but there was no hearty endorsement offered by the Reagans.
McCain’s new young wife was also an heiress to an Arizona Brewing fortune.
And let us not forget McCain was one of the Keating 5, who had helped swindle life savings from countless Americans in the Savings and Loan scandal of the 1980’s. McCain was in it up to his eyeballs.
Yet McCain was well-connected in Washington, and parlayed his connections into a seat in the United States Senate.
So before the tearful tributes to John McCain, be sure you remember the facts about this self-proclaimed Maverick. The facts do not agree with that portrait of a heroic patriot and great American.
With due respect to his family, John McCain was never the great man so many portray him as.
I do not wish the man any harm or ill-will. But neither should we allow this false narrative fairy-tale about this scoundrel of a man as he faces his eternal fate.

McStain, was, is and always will be a scum bag. The sooner that brain cancer he has rids us of his perpetual filth in the senate the better. I'll pop a cork to celebrate his death. He has done more harm to this country than any one man should be allowed to do.

Looks like we won't have to wait much longer:
McCain calls brain cancer prognosis ‘very poor'
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. John McCain says doctors have given him a “very poor prognosis” as he battles brain cancer.
McCain underwent surgery in July for a brain tumor that was later found to be a form of glioblastoma, the same type of cancer that took the life of his former Senate colleague Edward M. Kennedy in 2009. McCain tells CBS’ “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired Sunday night that he thinks about Kennedy a lot. He says Kennedy continued to work despite the diagnosis and “never gave up because he loved the engagement.”
McCain says he has “feelings sometimes of fear of what happens,” but counters that with gratitude for having lived “had a great life.”
He adds: “it’s not that you’re leaving, it’s that you — that you stayed.”

Wow - great theory and I bet there's some truth to this. By making it personal between him and Trump, he now has an excuse as to why he's once again bending the American people over a chair and lubing them up.

Patton agrees with Trump:
"It is a popular idea that a man is a hero just because he was killed in action. Rather, I think, a man is frequently a fool when he gets killed."

Yes...
Very interesting stuff this:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/3869117/General-George-S.-Patton-was-assassinated-to-silence-his-criticism-of-allied-war-leaders-claims-new-book.html
George S. Patton, America's greatest combat general of the Second World War, was assassinated after the conflict with the connivance of US leaders, according to a new book.
The newly unearthed diaries of a colourful assassin for the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA, reveal that American spy chiefs wanted Patton dead because he was threatening to expose allied collusion with the Russians that cost American lives.
Patton should have listened to Trump.
