That said, President Trump has a history of inappropriate comments regarding military personnel. His feud with McCain eventually led to him saying about McCain “He’s not a war hero, he’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured, okay? I hate to tell you.”
You don’t need to think someone is a war here to honor their service.
Guarantee President Trump would have never said that if VADM Stockdale or Jerimiah Denton were alive.
McCain was a piece of sh*t that squealed like a pig when captured, yet ran as a war hero. Serving doesn’t bestow sainthood. Plenty of my fellow veterans are less than great people, and plenty of them are as good as can be. Trump has more than served his country, by going through constant plots and ploys to destroy him, on our behalf. He didn’t need this crap, but he loves America.
