McCain and the POW Cover-up

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.

From 2010 but pertinent today.

No surprise that John Kerry is involved with this.

Some of McCain’s fellow captives at Hoa Lo prison in Hanoi didn’t share his views about prisoners left behind.

A close friend of mine, now dead, roomed with McCain in the Hilton. His stories would blow your mind. Juan was a prisoner but NOT a hero. Many of you will remember the "Who packs your parachute" speech.

Well, well, well...now everything makes sense...why McPain and John F’n Kerry are such good buddies...why McPain is a RINO (have to have friends to hide stuff)...yep, all makes sense now...good luck Arizona, hope you can get rid of this scum this time...

Has McCain apologized from calling thousands of concerned Trump supporters, “Crazies”?

All this because very large crowds are coming out to see Trump speak the truth?

Say, didn’t that very large crowd boo McCain during that event?

The pressure from the families and Vietnam veterans finally forced the creation, in late 1991, of a Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. The chairman was John Kerry. McCain, as a former POW, was its most pivotal member. In the end, the committee became part of the debunking machine.

at the time Kerry had a relative trying to establish business connections with the NV commies.

"Colliers International brokered a $905 million dollar deal to develop a deep sea port in Vietnam.." To skirt the trade embargo still in effect against Vietnam, Colliers International acted through its partner firm Colliers Jardine based in Singapore. At the time the deal was brokered, C. Stewart Forbes was the Chief Executive Officer of Colliers International. . . . there is one other piece of information you need to know. C. Stewart Forbes CEO of Colliers International and John Forbes Kerry are cousins.

You can never end far from the truth when you follow the money.

I will never understand given the lies of Kerry about American servicemen in VN and the support Kerry gave the NV communists -- that kept the war going and going! and kept McCain and others prisoners -- why the hell does McCain associate with the Kerry POS?

BTW ". . . North Vietnam General Vo Nguyen Giap . . . in a French TV broadcast [said that the] 'most important guerrilla during the Vietnam War was the American press.'"

Here

Kerry and the "anti-war", pro-Ho crowd made zombies of the MSM employees who swooned over "the most intelligent generation ever!".

Those campus radical, psycho spoiled brats are now pretty much the government.. no wonder the government is an autoimmune disease caused by unstable radicals.

When will McCain apologize for stabbing POWs and the MIA in the back?
