Trump the military expert, we need to be more like ISIS to defeat them. I think we have already seen this method in a prior administration.

Republican Sen. John McCain is hitting back at Donald Trump's renewed calls for torture in the aftermath of the deadly terror attack at the Istanbul airport in Turkey.
"It's not the United States of America. It's not what we are all about. It's not what we are," the Arizona lawmaker and former prisoner of war in North Vietnam said to applause at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington on Wednesday.

I did not vote for McCain because I disagreed with his positions, but would have had no problem had he won, well minus the whole Palin thing. McCain is an honorable man, trump is a buffoon with the moral compass of a time share salesman.

Because that is not who we are, we don't make excuses to become more like the enemy and McCain knows that better than anyone

Having your head cut off or a bomb dropped on your head, what is the difference? Dead isn't dead?

McCain was one of the most vocal supporters of the war in Iraq and helped Bush and Cheney build a fictitious case against Saddam that led to one of the greatest strategic disaster in US military history.

Maybe you would actually reply to what I said as opposed to making your own argument to argue against as you have no answer to what I asked.
