Let's hear what you did that rises to a loftier goal of heroism.
There are millions of americans who go into battle and fight, the left hates them though because they hate the military, until off course its to start stupid posts..

What a stupid lie.

Trump denigrates combat veterans when he himself didn't have the balls to go. That makes him a coward, and that makes anyone who supports him and claims to support the military a hypocrite. Chew on that.

What are you on? A good portion of the military is comprised of the left. And this leftist has no issue with the military. I've got massive issues with gilded asses that send good men and women into harm's away based on lies.

People go into the military because they want to protect our country. You make it about politics but they don't. Can't we just stop dems vs republicans.

Come on, now. It's widely understood that he did break under torture. If he did break under torture, I can accept the possibility that the torture was such that I might have broken under LESS torture. How the hell would I know? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that. But surviving torture doesn't make you a hero unless you actually do something good with your survival. And McCain has spent years trying to destroy America.

I'm not the one who started the thread..

The left wants to defund the military any time they can, whine and cry everytime there is a proposed increase because people on welfare, deserve that money..

You must have gotten your degree in lying at Trump University. Still a LIE.

No. It makes you someone who doesn't get the point. Let me break it down for you:

First of all, neither of those two was ever drafted and got doctors to give them five deferments. Second of all, neither of them ridiculed the service of those who did go. TRUMP DID.

The hypocrite would be the one claiming to support the military while supporting someone who not only dodged the draft but who took cheap shots at someone who went and sacrificed. Also suggests questionable judgment and moral character.

Let's see you twist yourself into a pretzel on this one. Good luck. Should be fun.

McCain is a war hero. And yes, surviving torture and coming back alive makes you a hero. I don't understand how anyone can judge what he went through unless you went though the same thing.
