Tell you what, you weren’t there.
I wasn’t there either.
The people who were there tend to disagree with you about with McCain.
I have bowed to their assessments.
Nothing you have posted convinces me that you know more about the man than they do.
McCain is one the men who went to the middle east to arm islamist radicals to conquer Syria. That predictably led to the Yazidi genocide.
To defend McCain you are forced to defend that, since at no time did McCain call for the US step in and cou ter the damage.
If you want to keep defending McCain, you personally are going to have to defend the Yazidi genocide. And I will see to it that that will be a relentless and unpleasant prospect. There will be no dodging that and no equivocation has any hope of deflecting his culpability.
You see Jay, McCain’s actions in recent years are in every way in line with what the men who actually served with him in Vietnam have said.
I am happy to criticize McCains political career... however that doesn’t turn into criticizing him for breaking while being tortured. The fact that you and others think the first thing, grants you rights to the second is ridiculous.
You can believe what you want, but as I offered before, if you think being broken by torture makes you a traitor or weak, come on over and lets test your theory. My torture won’t even leave a mark on your body, unlike someone who’s battered and beaten routinely.
The belief that being broken by torture makes you a traitor, or weak, is wholesale ignorant. I know it makes you feel better to think you wouldn’t break, but reality is, you would.. anyone will. That’s the whole point of torture... you want to sit in your easy chair and think otherwise, I am glad your life has provided you that bubble of delusion.. largely on the backs of folks who have been there and done that. So if you are going to criticize someone for their actions while being there and doing that, so you don’t ever have to, then you are beyond foolish and ignorant.
I have no love for man of McCains political actions, particularly in recent years, and I will criticize them as much as anyone. There is no doubt in my mind that Obamacare lives because McCain let personal grievances against Trump weigh more on his vote than the good of the country. As they did when he turned over the Dossier to the FBI. That doesn’t mean that ignorant ad hominem attacks on him for actions while being tortured as a prisoner of war are justified.
Anyone engaging in such things shows nothing but their wholesale ignorance as far as I’m concerned. Torture’s very intent is to break you, and while hollywood and fictional novels may have provided you with protagonists who take everything and never crack, the real world does not work that way at all.
