Anti American statements made by POW

You don't suppose Vietnam would take him back, do you?

That is exactly what "we" have done.

It was under duress, however:

"I am a black criminal and I have performed the deeds of an air pirate. I almost died and the Vietnamese people saved my life, thanks to the doctors."

What is anti-American therein? The truth cannot be "anti-American." If anything, it is understated. "Air pirate" sounds harmless compared to what he was really doing.

The honorable alternative to participating in mass murder as an aggressor is to desert. If Bergdahl unlike McCain happened to do that, we should not condemn him.

young people who believed it. But is hippies were right.

McCain should be very ashamed of himself about now.

I doubt that the Vietnamese wanted him. He was nicknamed "Songbird" for good reasons. Deserter? Dubya was unaccounted for for almost a year while in the National Guard. He deserted, then has the gall to send young kids to the front lines to fight for his friends to make lots of war profits. Mccain is a joke, not a "hero" Read the Rolling Stone article by Matt Taiibi about his service. No wonder he has his military records sealed. His good friend, Senator Foghorn Leghorn served stateside in an office, yet spouts off about this young man who volunteered to serve his country. The gop has turned into a bunch of bought and paid for senile old men, who just want their ugly mugs on TV EVERY Sunday. The so-called "journalists" just nod in agreement, while these "representatives" read their talking points, all alike from headquarters (Fox News)

sides of his face connected. He is the master of hot air. When he finally got back to US soil the first thing I remember about him is he left his wife, divorced her and decided he would marry again for money--and he did.

His first wife had been in a bad car accident, leaving her needing crutches. In order to keep him from worrying (as if he would!) she did not tell him. Nancy Reagan and some politicians paid her medical bills, when little Johnny left her. None of them ever had any respect for him after that., Nancy loathed him. He is not an honorable man, he is a toad. His daughter, Meghan, wrote a book about him "My Dad" and did not even mention his first wife, as if she never existed!!He used his connections to keep his second wife out of prison for stealing medications from a charity she ran. He should do the country the best service EVER, and resign.

he has been in office. Of course he is not the only member in the do-nothing party so he has some other buddies to lean on.

I'm confused.

The op does Not refer to any 60 minutes interview or statement that McCain may have given after he returned home. It refers to a statement given by him while a Prisoner of War.

In fact,in explaining that he never made such statement of 60 minutes, Snopes explains that he was coerced by his captors.

The OP does not deny that these statements may have been made under duress. That is sort of the point.

The analogy being that when Bergdahl was in custody he may have made anti-American statements.

But your post, Snopes Says False, is notapplicable.


Refer to post #3, above.

It actually quotes McCain as saying that he signed such a confession, under duress, which is the point. McCain is a total hypocrite now to speak in complete ignorance about what Bergdahl might have said while captive and under duress.
