I like people who don't get out of service because of heel spurs.

But then again, how was poor Donald supposed to outrun those VC with a couple of nasty heel spurs?

Did these people who claim military people are not heroes were they simply referring to those who served or those who were prisoners of war. That is the big issue.

Default Should Trump apologise to McCain?

There's no need to.

McCain has already gotten on board with Drumpf.

He's been assimilated.

If somebody said to me, "Lily is not a hero, she is a hero only because her brother was a Marine." I wouldn't be freaked out. I certainly wouldn't be telling the person "You are attacking the military families. apologize apologize apologize." I, only a girl next door, who has a brother and two uncles served all of sudden represents the military families? LOL

I would be like, "oh, okay, you don't like me. "I guess I would have to move on. no?

I was talking about McCain not wanting to leave his men behind when he could have had his freedom earlier.

Never said he wasn't a hero. He aint the only one. Also, he is not my personal hero, doesn't fit my personal definition of hero. But is he a war hero? sure he is.

Trump attacked him personally, didn't attack all pows in my opinion. They both attacked each other, pretty pathetic in my opinion.

I have heel spurs. Painful as all heck, and they just get worse and worse over time. Cortisone shots help for a couple years, but I can never stand for too long, you know like Donald does...every single day while campaigning.

As a FYI, Mine showed up in my 40's. I joined the military when I was 17-was never a problem. Once they occur though they do not seem to magically get better with age. Donald was lying, and dodging military service.

Hummm?? Unless you consider Trump saying ..Those captured are NOT hero's in his book..So Yep..Trump did double down on not just his particular McCain POV..But spelled out why..

Trump: McCain only a war hero because he was captured

https://youtu.be/_jJOrkRVNhE

So that SHOULD be clear as a bell..Any POW should never be considered "War Heros"..WHY because they were captured...No other way to spin that factoid!!

well, to me, it was a personal attack because obviously, they didn't like each other for whatever the reasons.

Do you HONESTLY believe Trump would have attacked other POWs for no reasons? Trump is impulsive, yes, he should have chosen different words, yes. But Do I believe he has attacked all veterans or POWs? Well, IN MY OPINION, he didn't.

All combat veterans are heroes to me, personally. He is just one of them. Honestly, one homeless veteran I knew was a kick ass war hero, in my opinion. But people would only see him as a homeless guy, I guess. Social status matters a great deal.
