Be honest? I don't care how many assumptions were made, excuses tallied or expectations lost. If disparaging McCain and dishonoring his death is the event that rouses people from their slumber, rattles their bamboozled state-of-mind, I won't criticize. Let's hope that this distaste for the Trumpster's pettiness and vindictiveness in all things McCain holds up.

I will say this--my father was an old Navy man--South Pacific, WWII. He might slam the military but no civilian was allowed to do that. If you kicked one Navy man, you kicked them all. Plus? Navy guys and I suspect military guys in general tend not to forget or forgive. Captain BoneSpurs made a huge mistake!
