(2,921 posts)He certainly is, are all veterans that have served voluntarily as well as those that have been forced into service. That said, let's say all veterans are not equal. Those that go on to lead in public positions, such as super racist, scumbag, steaming pile of feces General John Kelly is neither a hero nor a veteran still worthy of respect for any reason. McCain made some extremely flawed and fuct up mistakes as a politician. He also showed more courage and integrity than 3 or 4 dozen Senators on specific occasions. His calling bullshit on the transgender ban wasn't brave for McCain, but brave for a Republican. He saved tens of thousands of people's lives by calling bullshit on the repeal of Obamacare. When he admitted to being a coward for what he said in South Carolina about the Confederate flag, it became impossible not to at least accord the man some respect for owning his own bullshit. He is definitely your hero and my hero. It doesn't matter if anyone disagrees with you. They have every right to do so, as some have been doing. They remind me of our current idiot in The Whites Only House. Unless it's about them, or unless they have expressed their opinion, no opinion is valid. I wonder what they are doing with their lives, you know? Does whining and mewling help others in any way? Sen. Inhofe and other crawling scum will quickly support every one of those here who simply refuse to understand that every human has their faults, refuse to speak well of the good someone has done, and offer nothing positive to anyone else.
