Adios “song bird”


You're retarded.

The allegation that he was a “songbird” during his captivity originated with the group Vietnam Veterans Against McCain, which distributed a flyer to media outlets in South Carolina during his 2008 campaign for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.
quote:

The claim was roundly debunked at the time by Politifact, which cited both fellow prisoners of war and author Robert Timberg, who interviewed several POWs while writing John McCain: An American Odyssey, a biography of the senator. “I’ve never known of any occasion in which Sen. McCain provided the North Vietnamese with anything of value,” said Timberg, who died in 2016.

What about being relieved that he's gone forever from the Senate though?


I can’t control who Arizona puts in the Senate. Bad as McCain was, there are plenty worse than him.

Blumenthal comes to mind. But to be honest, he probably has a more celebrated military career in my opinion.

Was it, really? Do we just accept that statement without any proof?



Are we sure?

What more proof do you want other than the POWs with him? How about this, what proof is there that he was songbird?

He was a warmonger who sent men to die. He was evil but I take no pleasure in nor would ever be celebrating his death.

Who? Who are they? Were they really “POWs with him?”

Ok. I’m just wondering because I think the article said that it had been widely debunked that he’d been a songbird.

You’d think more people would know about how that story had been widely debunked than people who thought he was a treasonous, corrupt, fake American.



quote:

Mr. McCain eventually signed a confession to being “a black criminal” and an “air pirate,” though it didn’t end the beatings because he refused to sign more confessions. He said years later: “I had learned what we all learned over there: every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine.”

He wasn’t tortured.

His injuries were from the plane crash.

I'm sorry that he died from such a horrible disease. I hope he finds peace in whatever afterlife he believed in and I wish his family the best.

That being said, it baffles me how somebody who knew first hand the horror of war would do his best to make sure millions of other people would also know first hand.

I always thought he threw in a little of a McCain impersonation when he did this. Maybe because I focused on the left arm. Maybe not. Anyway, it reminded me of McCain when I saw it.

Why?

Trump’s awesome. He loves women, money, and golf.

That’s the American male trifecta.
