I would be upset at the blacks who tortured me for bombing 23 times their cities, not at the whole black race.

No, you have no understanding of history. We invaded South Vietnam FIRST!

By the end of the war all there was left was a puppet regime, not a real country.

Pitiful in his two-faced nature
But Trump will love him

I don't know you. I don't know your IQ but damn dude, there is a huge difference in a threat to our existence when a nuclear superpower have nukes pointing at every major city in the U.S.A than a bunch of poor peasants from a 3rd world country who just wants their independence and are tired of foreign influence in their country and just wants to be left alone.

Furthermore we also invaded south Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. This had nothing to do with communism!

It would be nice if McCain's death did indeed symbolize the death of the Republican Party that throws its military weight around abroad while surrendering to the left on immigration and most other domestic policy.

You think any of the people you support have the same respect that McCain did.

I'd be hard pressed to find anyone that seems to have anybody's respect these days.
Heartbreaking eh? So... when did you decide you liked McCain? ... a couple years ago... a couple weeks ago?

Furthermore even the Soviets waited a decade after US involvement to start sending full scale military arms.
