I think the poster was Nuked before you got here but we had one conspiracy poster who swore the USN sank the Kursk and our sub was down as well because it didn't break radio silence. LOL That was one of the guys tamer Tin Foil Follies.
When McCain was running for POTUS a group of retired Naval Officer and other service retired signed a statement of support for McCain. I know for 100% certain fact one of them was in the Hanoi Hilton when McCain arrived. I won't post how I know it but I know the signer was a POW of good reputation. He was a POW a few months longer than McCain.
McCain by some accounts was moved to an outlying prison very near Hanoi after his identity and connection to Admiral McCain was discovered.
If McCain talked so what? Any Keyboard Commando think they could take an Asian POW Camp? You break and dust yourself off and take more. They weren't in a GITMO environment where Geneva Convention rules were honored.
The remarks I've seen on threads are insane. Comments like a good pilot won't get shot down. Other ones more insane like McCain caused the Forestall fire without even checking facts first. That's B.S. lots of great pilots got downed with much higher skills than McCain. If they aren't in range of a possible hit they likely aren't doing their job to start with. He also had to have needed skills to do carrier landings and it takes far above average pilot skills. McCains connections could not have covered a lack of those skills. It's simple. It's either you land or you crash on the flight deck or at best run over the side either/or.
While Trump has said a lot of things needed saying he's quickly becoming his own worse issue. Is he there to change or to do a scorch the Conservatives of the party for the GOP-E?
On the other side of that coin McCain's own remarks about Trump and other conservatives have been more than horrendous. He needs to consider retirement possibly before election time.

Outstanding point about the lack of Geneva Convention being followed by the Communist.
I’d say lots of the younger crowd might not know that. But the dems will remind them...with videos of Captured Americans being tortured in Vietnam and Trumps voice saying he likes Americans that are not captured. That ad would crush him hard.
All this is a shame because Trump is saying things that no one in the entire political spectrum has had the courage to say.... now he needs to show a little more courage and discipline....Presidential if you will.
