No Sarah, McCain did not fight for us. He crashed our planes and pinned us
down trying to get his ass out of Hanoi where he should have never been if he had been a responsible pilot. He was a reckless Naval student (near the bottom), he was a reckless pilot costing us millions of dollars in those crashed planes, he was a reckless husband, and a reckless father and a reckless politician and a reckless and erratic Presidential candidate. No Sarah, he did not fight for us, he was an accidental tourist in Vietnam. I am sick and tired about this POW and I fought for you bullshit. So Sarah, STFU and go back to face the music in Alaska.

1. Add to that: involved in the worst naval disaster since WWII.

Senator McCain's exact role in that disaster has never been fully explained.

3. more on forrestal here....
"One such case involves McCain’s experience in the devastating fire and explosions that killed 134 sailors on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal during the Vietnam War three months before he was shot down over North Vietnam. McCain has made claims about this accident that differ dramatically from parts of the official Navy report and accounts of reliable eyewitnesses."

2. his heroism is as fake as his maverickism...
"Journalists have had years to vet John McCain’s account of wartime heroism in Vietnam. But no real critique of its veracity has emerged from leading media outlets. Reporters and commentators remain remarkably disinclined to investigate a major underpinning of McCain’s argument that he is qualified to be commander-in-chief. Here, historian Mary Hershberger questions why."

4. I am sick of McCain. After the election I hope that we finally investigate this charlatan
who has lived on a foundation of lies. I bet he actually cost us lives in Vietnam, I bet he was a bastard traitor. Listen, if they were able to smear Kerry with lies, why not smear McCain with the truth? Fate and God will deal with this Republican demon.

5. He Is A Shifty Stank Snake
Narcissistic Asshole. Really a vile waste of space. I loathe the dick more than Bush 41 or 43. OY! How is that possible but I do.

6. I thought it was a mistake to not push this BEFORE the election.
Then again I am not running a campaign that is heading toward an historic landslide.
