In reply to the discussion: Very powerful response to the Bergdahl nonsense by a retired US Navy Chief Warrant Officer [View all]Hekate
(100,133 posts)44. My gods, man, tell us how you really feel about John McCain!
The staggering hypocrisy of John McCain continues unabated, the man is a disgrace to the uniform he once wore and the honor he swore to uphold. McCain, more than any other living American, should know what its like when governments value politics over their own citizens. Navy Lieutenant John McCain, if he still exists inside that wretched bitter old man, that John McCain more than any other should remember what its like to come home as a POW under a cloud of doubt and suspicion. But Vietnam was a long, long time ago and John McCain is a rich man now and more than willing to condemn others for his own sins.

I'm not informed enough on Snowden to have an opinion, but yean, that was one righteous rant.

Yes - he is correct about Bergdahl, but way off the mark with Snowden and Al Awlaki.
