I don't owe allegiance because he was and he discredited himself afterwards. Take your disgrace comment elsewhere.

I'm talking about respect not any allegiance

Maybe if he was a Democrat his entire career I wouldn't have noticed him but I have much more angst towards RINOs than Democrats.

Mc Cain had the courage to suit up and fought for his country.
Trump made up that bull**** about bone spurs after being a high school athlete. (Although this could be fabricated too)
I am far from being a fan of his politics but he was a POW and deserves respect.

I don't have any of that for him either and I certainly don't because you say I must. He made a comment on his campaign trail about him knowing what's good for the people better than they do. Nothing but another authoritarian politician with ties to the MIC.

Oh, so he made a comment you didn't agree with. So what. We now have Trump saying what's good for us. You are ok with that though. McCain is dead, let him rest in peace

I didn't start this thread. And my issue is with you and your comment about being a disgrace to the military. Not everyone sees McCain as a hero or deserving of respect. Get over it.

The Dems haven't had a prior military President since Carter.


FWIW, having served does not automatically give one a pass to be a POS for their remaining years...especially if they sold out their fellow vets...multiple times.

It's hilarious to see Dems praise him when they couldn't stand him for decades until that "finest moment" posted upthread. Hilarious.
