John McCain shows gratitude for US military on Independence Day
KTAR NEWS ^ | JULY 4, 2018 AT 8:52 AM | BY KTAR.COM

McCain is celebrating at his home in Arizona while he continues physical therapy to combat a deadly form of brain cancer.

“One of the greatest privileges of my life has been marking Independence Day with America’s service members and diplomats selflessly serving overseas,” McCain said. “As I spend this Fourth of July at home in Arizona, my thoughts are with these courageous men and women fighting terrorism and tyranny around the world.”

The 81-year-old was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, in July 2017.

Following his diagnosis, McCain left Washington and returned to his home in Arizona, where he has remained as he seeks treatment.

McCain underwent surgery in April at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix to treat an intestinal infection related to diverticulitis.

Diverticula are small, bulging pouches that can form in the lining of a digestive system, according to Mayo Clinic. They are common after the age of 40 and rarely cause problems.

However, they can become inflamed or infected and cause colon pain, fever and nausea.

There have been no official updates on McCain’s health from his office since the surgery, but his daughter, Meghan McCain, told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Mac and Gaydos last month that her father is doing well.

Sorry about that whole thing with the POWs and MIAs, he added. His daughter, sitting next to his hospital bed eating a hot fudge sundae said Mewrollogroppaple, yumm-yumm.

I thought I read on FR that he planned to resign today. It’s noon, so he still has 12 hours.

Is he still even functional? His stuff has sounded more like it was written by a PR flack.

John is simply using the military to make himself look better.

This is a man that insulted the families of men MIA, their reps, and veterans, to achieve MostFavoredNation status for Vietnam.

He doesn’t have one cell in his body that respects the military.

The site that "reported" that was the Santa Monica Observer, which is a fake news site. The previous article written by the author (Stan Greene) of the 'McCain will resign on July 4th and be replaced by Cindy McCain' article was about the killing of a chupacabra.

He probably forgot he was supposed to resign.

He was diagnosed with very aggressive brain cancer in July 2017...well? What is the hold up?

A military that he betrayed. Doesn’t deserve to be in Arlington.

Johnny is grateful that the military did not charge him with collusion with the enemy while being fed well in Hanoi.
