John McCain diagnosed with brain cancer

geez - mebbe the GOP should have demonstrated honor by allowing President Obama to have his supreme court nominee affirmed

 

All Russophobes suffer from brain disease. One jumps out the window shouting "The Russians are coming." "I've seen Russian soldiers!". Another yells about Russian hackers. Obviously - all Russophobes have a brain disease. I'm sure that if you examine Clinton - you too will find deviations in the work of the brain.

 

He's got brain cancer. It's not funny, it's almost a death sentence. You may like, or not like person, but it's still a tradegy that does not deserves gloating. Don't shame yourself.

 

I wish John McCain well in his fight against brain cancer. His type of cancer is said to be very, very aggressive - he faces long odds. I wouldn't bet against him though, he is a true American hero - the exact opposite of the imbecile in the White House who so dishonorably insulted McCain (and, be extension, anyone who ever served in the armed forces) during the campaign. A truly disgusting Trumpian performance that we have come to expect from Trump.....

 

Even though John McCain was probably possessed, and what he did might not have been through his own free will, I have no compassion for him. He was supporting the terrorists who were killing Christians non stop, and even posed with them after they massacred a Christian town next to Lebanon. The blood on his hands is immense. May the Lord pity him because I can't.

When an Orthodox bishop went to speak to Congress to let them know the situation in Syria, John McCain walked out. I guess Christians are untermench to him... or maybe only Orthodox Christians.


Bravo my son!

 

I think for his military career, McCain could have received the Order "of Merit for Russia".

As we all know, John McCain followed in the footsteps of his father (and grandfather-admiral) and enrolled at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. During the training, he could not boast of discipline and received at least 100 reprimands annually. The future senator graduated in 1958 with the 894th result of 899 graduates. After the academy, J. McCain went to flight school, and, having completed his studies in 1960, began to serve as a pilot on aircraft carriers in the Caribbean.
And John McCain began to actively destroy the aircraft of the US Army. Even during the flight school, he opened an account the destroyed American aircraft. Smashed when landing a training aircraft. Then, during the service in Spain, J. McCain hooked his fighter - power lines, after which he was transferred to the position of instructor at the airbase in Mississippi.
In 1965, during the flight, the engine of his plane caught fire, and J. McCain had to quickly catapult (the aircraft, of course, crashed).
In 1966, he was transferred to the aircraft carrier Forrestal.
July 29, 1967, about 11 am, immediately after lunch for the officers, the American aircraft carrier Forrestal burned down in Tonkin Bay. Need I say, dear reader, that McCain was on it? And not just on the ship, but in the very center of the fire. Moreover, it is claimed that it was he who accidentally fired a missile from his plane on the deck, which caused a fire (and his father-admiral saved him again). To hide the problem - Officially, the reason was a "voltage surge in the on-board network" ... Most of the fire witnesses, and this is 134 crew members, died in it, 21 combat aircraft were destroyed, and the aircraft carrier was put out of operation for a year!

Is this not worthy of a reward from the government of the USSR?

By the way, McCain for his injuries and captivity should thank the US government. But for his salvation and life, McCain should thank the Vietnamese army and Russia.

McCain's plane on the day he was captured flew from the Enterprise carrier to participate in another punitive action. "The missile hit the rear hemisphere and, obviously, knocked out its rudders or ailerons, because it went strictly in a straight line," eyewitnesses recall. McCain catapulted from the falling plane. The wind blew his parachute to the side, and he landed in a city lake, severely injured - broke his leg and both hands.
From the lake he was dragged by soldiers from the army of North Vietnam. Then McCain was lucky - usually American pilots were hammered. It's not surprising if you remember how American pilots burned Vietnamese with napalm. Is not it?



The pilot was sent to the prison of Hoa Lo, which the American prisoners of war called "Hanoi Hilton". John McCain later said that there he was kept in solitary confinement for months and regularly tortured, which is why he even tried to commit suicide. And they allegedly did not shoot him because of his name - after all the son of the admiral. But not so long ago other facts, completely opposite to the senator's stories, became known.
In Vietnam, those pilots who were fortunate enough to survive the detention were not expecting happy prospects. How many were in Vietnam, "pilots in pajamas" - captive American pilots - Hanoi still keeps a secret. But it is no secret that during the war, 4,200 American planes were shot down and about 2000 American soldiers and officers disappeared in Indochina. More precisely - 1973. Now there are about 800 such "unknowns." Obviously, some of them died from injuries or illnesses in the Hanoi Hilton, an eerie prison, where they kept pilots, in terrible conditions, without medical assistance.

However, there were exceptions. One of them is "the soldier Johnny McCain"

When they learned that they had brought down the admiral's son, the Vietnamese hurried to tell the story. McCain in his memoirs quotes an excerpt from the English "Voice of Vietnam" of October 31, 1967 (on the 5th day of the captivity) and, reading it, you see that a full bucket has already been filled with information from John's captive for a few days. He told them that he had arrived at the front on Forrestal, but after a fire on the aircraft carrier he crossed with a dozen other pilots on the Oriskani, that his previous flight was Haiphong's bombing, that he married in 1965 and he has a 10-month daughter. In short, even what was officially published went far beyond the statutory information: name, rank, number, date of birth. He even said his home address in Florida, where his wife with three children lived at that time! In the hospital, he gave an interview to French television, which was broadcast on CBS in the States.

After six weeks of hospital, McCain was placed in a model demonstration camp for the captives "Plantation", which was located on the northern outskirts of Hanoi. For three months he was in a cell with two other Americans who were courting him, and when he was able to move around and serve himself, he was moved alone.



So, we note the amazing luck McCain - having been captured, he was sent to the best military hospital. He is informed about his fate by the media, he is interviewed by French journalists, and then sent not to the Hilton, but to a special camp where the cameras were even equipped with fans! And then he is even offered an early return to his homeland, which Johnny for some reason refuses. Representative of McCain's campaign headquarters Svindl, apparently not from a great mind, reported that "the northern Vietnamese offered John McCain to release him ahead of schedule, but he refused"

Why do you think?

For example, when John McCain tried to realize his presidential ambitions, the Veterans movement of the United States formed the organization "Vietnam Veterans against John McCain," whose members accused the politician of treason during his stay in the Vietnamese captivity. The organization sent a letter to voters in the state of South Carolina stating that the Republican candidate "turned his back on fellow war prisoners to save his own skin."

 

Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain

I despise hypocrites. Such as you. .... Or do you think that I will regret the enemy, who called to destroy my country? If you think so, you need to see a doctor. Maybe you also have problems with the brain.

In addition, many Americans - veterans of the war in Vietnam- despise McCain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_Veterans_Against_John_McCain

Unfortunately, forum moderators forbid me to show you the way for enlightenment. But I will use the German phrase, which indicates the direction - "Nach". Here you can show your tolerance and continue to hypocrite on.

By the way, McCain was also dangerous for Americans. Because his calls could end in a nuclear war. In which would be killed a lot of people. Both Russians and Americans. And do I have to regret this madman?
If Hitler had had such a disease in his time, do you think I should have felt sympathy for him?

Definitely you need to see a doctor.

 

Exactly that I expect. He is a human. He got brain cancer. At such moments people deserve pity, regardless of their actions.

 

I believe there were over THREE MILLION of us who served in Vietnam.
With such a large number, EVERY opinion is represented.
I am quite sure that those against John McCain were a small minority.
I do not agree with McCain on many things - his peddling of Iraq, for example - but he does not deserve the venom you dispense.
He earned his right to be heard.

 

You are aware of the 13 techniques of enhanced interrogation a Marine recruit who went through Marine Corps boot camp during the 1940's, 50's, 60's and early 70's experienced 12 of those 13 enhanced interrogation techniques except waterboarding.

Now any sailor or Marine who went through Navy SERE training during the 1950's, 60's and 70's was waterboarded. Waterboarding was dropped from SERE training when it was discovered that it broke ones morale and that ain't good in the military. It's a morale breaker like having Barack Obama as your Commander in Chief.

John McCain as a naval aviator never went through SERE training for some reason but he prevailed as a POW by following the Code of Conduct without going through SERE training.

 

The Republicans gave Obama more than they should have.

Obama's sequestration.

$ 831 BILLION DOLLARS for shovel ready jobs when there was no shovel ready jobs.

Repealing DADT and legalizing buggery in the military.

Violating the War Powers Act and conducting an illegal war in Libya.

Arming Obama's JV Team.

 

I could have sworn there was a puke emoji......

/Insert puke emoji here/

 

Terrible person.

Got less then he deserves (pain wise)

Traitor to America

 

Let's not forget his giving a speech on the maidan in Kiev to the protesters before the Ukraine coup. Also, his constant support for weapons for the ukros to use against the people in donbas. He kept this up right to the present, going to the front line on New year's eve to encourage the ukros even more as they constantly break the minsk accord.

How about "bomb Iran"? The list is long and much blood is on mccain's hands.

While karmic retribution is above my pay grade, feeling sorry for this old bastard is beyond me.

 

He's done, won't return to the Senate.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
I hope he suffers some more, he is an awful person and fake conservative traitor to America, like 98% of his colleagues.
Hurry up and die please.

 

Although I do not like crazy McCain as a Christian I pray for him and wish him a quickly recovery

 

President Trump is more of a Hero and Leader then Mcstain could ever dream of being.

Mcstain is NOT a hero, he was a failure, how many planes did he crash like Bush?
Another daddy's boy, coat tail riding loser, nothing more.

Mcshame is his name. Disgrace to the Congress, fake conservative scum.

Didn't they call this wretch "Songbird of Saigon" or something?

He's a disgrace and fake republican traitor, I understand why you liked him.

This is where you lost all credibility.

Were you one of those liberals who use to spit upon American soldiers returning from Vietnam ???

Your sources must be from liberals and since very few liberals serve in the U.S. military they have little knowledge of the military or fighting America's wars.

John McCain never flewe fighters he flew attack aircraft. First assigned to a squadron that flew the Douglas A-1 Skyraider.

When the Navy decided to get all avgas of their aircraft carriers all Navy A-1 Skyraider squadrons transitioned over the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk.

McCain didn't accidentally fired a missile on the flight deck of the USS Forrestal, just another commie leftist lie.

It was a Zuni rocket that was on a F-4 Phantom that accidentally was fired. John McCain was close by sitting in the cockpit of his A-4 Skyhawk.

It was all caught on tape. In the video you can see John McCain exiting his A-4 Skyhawk.

 

John McCain is a neoconservative. (Neocon)

Neocons use to be the liberal base of the Democrat party during the 1960's.

JFK would be a neocon today.

Neocons like wars and neocons like all liberals, like nation building and using the U.S. military for nation building, just ask Crooked Hillary.

 

Debunked six ways to Sunday but do continue with the fake news.

 

Not if you consider that those he was supporting in Syria were killing innocent civilians without any qualms. ..and John McCain knew it and didn't care. Should we care then for John McCain? I am a Christian and as such, I know that what he did was not under his own faculty, and as Saint Paul said it is the 'entity' he submitted himself to that we should be hating, not the person. I might not hate him knowing that, but it's hard to have compassion.

No matter how you look at it, John McCain was insane. Otherwise why would he insist on a war with Iran, without thinking of the consequences. ..And to think this insane man with his total indifference towards human life, was on our foreign relations committee.

 

I didn't say he was perfect - he was in the GOP - lots of hawks there - but not deserving of venom.

Our current coward in the White House has said he favors torture - not only is that amoral and beneath the dignity of America - it means that he believes that those who confessed to being witches under torture during the Middle Ages were really witches!

 

He's Russian, and has a right to hate McCain... as do the Syrians and the others McCain wanted to destroy.

 

I liked the dude.

But more than that, I respected him for his service.

Your life is not yet over.

The problem with many arse hat conservatives is they have zero service records.

Chicken Hawks. Nothing more & nothing less.
