John McCain Exposed. Not a pretty picture, no matter how you see it.

Thank you, Jim. This is very hard to watch, but it matters so much.
McCain meet Kerry.
Thank you, Jim!
Not knowing what I would have done under the same conditions, I can’t comment on the ‘betrayal’.
But McCain has been wearing that War Hero badge waaaaaay too long, and it doesn’t excuse his harebrained ideas and actions, esp. on ME (association with IS, for example).
That is so hard to watch. Hard to believe an America POW would turn his back on his own country.
Thanks for posting this video. It should be watched by ALL republican candidates.

Always wondered why my uncle didn’t like him. Now I know.
This is unfair, and we all may have done the same thing. But, he participated in enemy propaganda broadcasts during his captivity. Tokyo Rose went to prison for the exact same thing. He went to the US Senate and almost POTUS.
Also, his cruelty to the MIA families was so out of line that it raised a lot of suspicions.
My point being - I don’t think his “heroism” is off limits.
Wow. Wish I knew about this years ago.
Thanks good info to PASS on!
The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation!
McCain POW Cellmate Speaks Out on McCain’s Heroism:

I despise McCain for what he did when he came back. He started sucking up to politicians before he left the Navy. Dumped his wife and married a rich woman, whose family bought him a seat in Congress.
In office, he’s betrayed every conservative principle. He becomes a fake conservative about 6 months prior to election, then goes hard left the instant he wins. That is why I voted for his opponent in the 2010 general election. I voted for Palin in 2008, but could not vote for McCain in 2010.
But that doesn’t mean he behaved badly while a POW. For those not familiar with George Day:
“George Everett “Bud” Day (24 February 1925 – 27 July 2013) was a United States Air Force colonel and pilot who served during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, including five years and seven months as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. Day was a recipient of the Medal of Honor and the Air Force Cross. As of 2013, he is the only person to be awarded both medals...
...Among other endeavors, in 1996 Day filed a class action lawsuit for breach of contract against the United States government on behalf of military retirees who were stripped of their military medical care benefits at age 65 and told to apply for Medicare. Although winning the case in the district court in 2001, the judgment against the U.S. was overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals in 2002. Congress later redressed this situation by establishing the TRICARE for Life (TFL) program, which restored TRICARE military medical benefits for career military retirees over the age of 65, making the retirees eligible for both programs with Medicare as the primary payer and TRICARE as the secondary payer....
... In the months leading up to the 2004 U.S. presidential election, Day appeared in television advertisements—along with other members of the 527 group Swift Vets and POWs for Truth—decrying John Kerry’s antiwar activities following his military service during the Vietnam War and declaring him “unfit” for service and of a “dishonest” disposition for comments and actions made by Kerry after the Vietnam War, including his testimony before Congress in Washington, D.C...”
