What Donald Trump was up to while John McCain was a prisoner of war

[Warren Stupidity]

8. stating that mccain is not a hero is not "spitting on the troops".

Plus "spitting on the troops" was a bullshit meme invented by rightwing revisionists trying to salvage something from the vietnam war disaster. Sure, somebody somewhere spit on somebody in a uniform, but that was not what the antiwar movement was about, and some of the baddest hardcore motherfuckers in the antiwar movement were the well organized vietnam vets against the war, and they wouldn't have put up with that shit for one second.

McCain is not a hero. Enlisting in the military does not make you a hero. Getting your ass shot down while bombing people we should not have been bombing does not make you a hero. Getting captured after getting shot down while bombing people we shouldn't have been bombing doesn't make you hero. Being a prisoner basically because your government refused to negotiate in good faith to end that war for most of your captivity doesn't make you a hero either, it makes your government an asshole regime.

McCain may have been tortured in captivity. If that makes him a hero then that makes everyone we tortured after 9-11 heroes.
