The next time I go to Arlington Cemetary i WILL spit on that traitorous piece of filth's grave.

They should dump his body in a landfill

McCAIN THE HERO NEARLY SUNK AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER & KILLED 134 SAILORS

Too bad we can’t put him on trial (a real trial) for this.

USS Forrestal

According to McCain, he didn't recall ever having a previous conversation with Sir Andrew Wood, but may have met him before in passing. Chris Brose, a staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and David Kramer, a former assistant secretary of state with Russian expertise, joined McCain and Wood in a room off the main conference hall.

They left a name out...

Rinat Akhmetshin

Akhmetshin admits to being present at the same security conference in Canada where Sen. John McCain was reportedly first informed about the anti-Trump dossier. Akhmetshin says he might have spoken to McCain and the senator’s assistant David J. Kramer at the Halifax International Security Forum in 2016.

Relevance? It wasn't McCain.

Then who was it?

Steele had already gone to the press.

There’s a good chance McCain caused the Forrestal, at a minimum he was a coward.

McCain didn't cause the Forrestal, and at a minimum, you are a dolt.

It's incredible how you routinely just ignore the facts.

Exactly. But it's pretty common for Trump and his supporters to disrespect veterans who served honorably under extremely difficult circumstances. Excerpts from McCain's wiki page are tough reading:

McCain fractured both arms and a leg when he ejected from the aircraft, and nearly drowned after he parachuted into Trúc B?ch Lake. Some North Vietnamese pulled him ashore, then others crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt and bayoneted him. McCain was then transported to Hanoi's main H?a Lò Prison, nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton". Although McCain was seriously wounded and injured, his captors refused to treat him.

In December 1967, McCain was placed in a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live more than a week. In March 1968, McCain was placed into solitary confinement, where he would remain for two years.

In mid-1968, his father John S. McCain Jr. was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater, and the North Vietnamese offered McCain early release because they wanted to appear merciful for propaganda purposes, and also to show other POWs that elite prisoners were willing to be treated preferentially. McCain refused repatriation unless every man taken in before him was also released.

Beginning in August 1968, McCain was subjected to a program of severe torture. He was bound and beaten every two hours; this punishment occurred at the same time that he was suffering from dysentery. Further injuries brought McCain to "the point of suicide," but his preparations were interrupted by guards.

McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years until his release on March 14, 1973. His wartime injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head. Since his release from the Hanoi Hilton, McCain has returned to the site with his wife Cindy and family on a few occasions to come to grips with what happened to him there during his capture.

It's fine to disagree with someone's political beliefs but anyone who calls McCain a traitor should have his citizenship revoked. You don't deserve to hold his jock.

Russia was a pawn in McCain meddling

(apologies if already stated - don't care enough about McCain to read 4 pages)

McCain was for whoever paid him the most.
