Just die already.
I’d rather be known as someone who got a genuine medical disqualification from the Vietnam war, then be known as someone who destroyed five American jets and caused a fatal fire on an aircraft carrier.
McCain is as classless now as he was as an Annapolis midshipman.
This poor guy is trying too hard to make his life count for something.
While I pity his circumstances I have to believe that if I were in his position I would have better things to occupy my final months than just taking cheap shots at the President.
Well, I was 18 in 1968 and I agree with Senator McCain that the draft system in place was grossly unfair - as was the system of sending volunteers to Germany and draftees to Vietnam.
However, Donald John Trump is serving his country in a way no 18 year old could ever do, and making sacrifices to do so that most would never agree to.
Lets git er done, folks!
Gutless punk not man enough to own up to his own words. Scumbag in Hanoi scumbag on Arizona and a scumbag in DC songbird never changes.
What a bitter, nasty little man.
As a politician, has he ever done anything to help the conservative cause? Genuine question.
McShamey is a lying,traitorous,coward
Twice?
Miserable SOB coward.
McCain is a typical lying Democrat and everyone knows it.
The man is near death with cancer infesting his brain and STILL he HABITUALLY LIES!
I don’t think that’s correct. McCain thinks just because he flew missions against the most heavily defended air defense sites in the world and spent five and a half years in a communist prison he can bash President Trump. Trump served in the military at a High School boarding school. There he learned more than our current Generals, which despite his great modesty he’s shared with those who lack his strategic genius. We all must remember that he has a deeper love for America, then and even now, and his studies precluded him from the draft, and then, unfortunately, he had bond spurs, very painful. He had his tough times. He shared too he had his fears and valor as much as any Vietnam vet, as he explained to staunch conservative Howard Stern. While fighting bone spurs and all the commensurate pain, our now Commander Staff risked PTSD and STD. I say screw McCain.
This liar is just looking for attention. It would be hard to tell McCain and Maxine Waters apart if it weren’t for the Black thing.
We all know who he meant to insult. He’s a Lying Uniparty Senior Hack, disrespecting our POTUS, CiC, and leader of his party. Disgraceful.
The rich getting deferments happens to be all too true, whatever McCain might have meant in the present instance. The wealthy buying themselves out of the draft would be worse today, much as I have come to believe it should be reinstated. We now are a nation where no one (or few) have any ‘skin in the game.’ Few Americans even know anyone who’s serving or who has served in recent memory.
During the VN conflict I worked for an attorney who’d been Counsel to the (then immediate past-) VPOTUS. After he was out of office and back in private practice, he was besieged by requests from wealthy supporters of his former boss to get their sons out of the draft. I won’t say he didn’t try to accommodate a few of them.
