JOHN MCCAIN WAS NOT A HERO! HE WAS A COWARD!


Aug 31, 2018, 9:37 AM

John McCain was NOT A WAR HERO. As a matter of fact, John McCain was quite the opposite. John McCain was a COWARD and a TRAITOR who should have stood trial for TREASON upon his return from Vietnam. However, his father had some political clout and saved him from any repercussions of his treasonous actions. I'm prepared to face flak from my statement, but the men that served beside him called him SONG BIRD MCCAIN for a reason. He sang to the enemy and revealed strategic US positions that cost the lives of thousands of US Service Members on the ground. What a turd! His actions of cowardice violated several Articles of The Code of Conduct and as a result other good men died.

Please read the Articles of The Code of Conduct for ALL SERVICE MEMBERS!


Code of Conduct
for
Members of the United States Armed Forces

I
I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

II
I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

III
If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

IV
If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.

V
When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.

VI
I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.


As a combat veteran myself, I'd say that he's pretty much a disgrace. If I had betrayed my men on the ground out of cowardice I would have taken the actions of a respectful gentlemen and hung myself once I returned home. There's no way I could live with the guilt of knowing that my actions directly resulted in the deaths of fellow Americans. To make matters worse, there's no way I could live with the fact that I never faced any repercussions because of who my father was.


Before anyone starts speaking of politics, this has nothing to do with party affiliations or any of that nonsense. This has everything to do with a very old lie that has bolstered a man in his false narrative political resolves to enrich himself. He's a piece of ##### and deserves no honor in his falling! May God have mercy upon his soul, and I honestly pray for eternal peace for him, but I will not hail him as a hero when he caused the deaths of many others who were fighting for Liberty!


Just my two cents.


Sincerely,

A Combat Veteran of TWO WARS.

Carlsbad® said:

Bone Spurs


Trump's bone spurs didn't get fellow service members killed from treason. Again, since your reading level is not up to that of an adult I'll break it down for you. My original post has nothing to do with politics. Nothing to do with President Trump, or anyone else outside of John McCain who betrayed his nation during a time of war while the media took hostage of a false narrative. It's about speaking the truth about JOHN MCCAIN. Yes, President Trump did receive a medical deferment due to bone spurs in his feet. He received several medical deferments which means he continued to attempt to join but was denied. He would have been a young officer as he received his commission in College. So, President Trump wasn't a draft dodger like Bill Clinton who fled to Canada.


Again, this post is about the LIE that JOHN MCCAIN was a war hero. His actions cost the lives of good men on the ground, and instead of receiving a proper punishment he was rewarded for his actions of cowardice. Sadly, those who died from his actions of treason were soon forgotten under the lie told by the media because of his father's political influence. He later went on to become what he was destined to be. A LYING SCUMBAG POLITICIAN! Oh, how I hate all of them.

I know a few men that served with him in his unit and rather than bring attention to them, I will respect their anonymity. However, I find no reason that these men should lie about such a deed. I do know that his daddy was a man of political influence. Again, violations of the Code of Conduct constitutes as TREASON. John McCain aided the enemy in Vietnam and should have received a proper punishment instead of a hero's welcome.

So, you have zero evidence to support the claim.


Aug 31, 2018, 10:16 AM [ in reply to Re: I must have missed this part of McCain's story. ]

Other than some yappers from his unit, who clearly weren't there when he purportedly "sang" to the enemy. And you're ready to call the guy a traitor? Cool.

FWIW, McCain's dad wasn't just a political man of influence... he was an admiral, and the Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific during Vietnam. And when John McCain was offered early release, he declined due to the Code of Conduct you referenced, before. That's been corroborated by Col. Day, who was also a POW at the time.

Here's a collection of McCain's various accounts of his time as a POW, if you care to read it. There's a selection below that might be of particular interest to you.

http://archive.azcentral.com/news/election/mccain/articles/2007/03/01/20070301mccainbio-chapter3.html


--

Early release was forbidden by the military's Code of Conduct. To prevent the enemy from subverting prisoners or using them as propaganda tools, officers were to accept release in the order they were captured.

The POWs kept tabs on each other via underground communication techniques, which the guards "went to extraordinary lengths to stop," with little success, according to McCain.

"Through flashed hand signals when we were moved about, tap codes on the wall, notes hidden in washroom drains, and holding our enamel drinking cups up to the wall with our shirts wrapped around them and speaking through them, we were able to communicate with each other," McCain wrote in his book. "The whole prison system became a complex information network, POWs busily trafficking in details about each other's circumstances and news from home that would arrive with every new addition to our ranks."

McCain kept track of his 80 or so fellow American prisoners and even silently recited their names as he went to sleep. "Keeping an ever-lengthening account of the men we learned were prisoners was the solemn responsibility of every POW," McCain wrote.

So everybody knew that Navy Lt. Everett Alvarez, who had been shot down on Aug. 5, 1964, should have been the first prisoner released.

Nevertheless, Overly and two others accepted early release under a North Vietnamese "amnesty" program. The other POWs dubbed the practice the "Fink Release Program."

McCain and Day, who won the Medal of Honor for his service in Vietnam, don't judge Overly too harshly.

"If I had been in (Overly's) shoes, maybe I would have done things differently than I did," said Day, who retired from the Air Force in 1976 as a full colonel.

"I came back from Vietnam all crippled up and all screwed up, and a lot of that could have been avoided if I had given (them) a lot of the stuff they were really pushing me for.

"I didn't think it was the right thing, so I didn't do it."

operations in Vietnam? I'd guess that more aircraft were lost in '67 than '68, just due to more sorties being flown. (if your 1968 stat is even true..I couldn't substantiate it, and you can't either)

"Air operations peaked with ground operations from 1966 to 1968. The Air Force flew a total of 101,089 combat and combat support sorties in 1967, its busiest year. Losses piled up as airmen took risks to complete ground support missions"

Aug 31, 2018, 10:54 AM

and confessing to war crimes doesn't equate to treason, unless your definitions of "aid" or "comfort" are extraordinarily loose. So loose, that you might consider Trump's white collar draft-dodging to be prison worthy.

And you've still not supported your claim that, "He sang to the enemy and revealed strategic US positions that cost the lives of thousands of US Service Members on the ground." Nothing. Nada. Zip.

Here's what constitutes treason, if you need the clause:

--

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Everyone has their own opinion. Others had firsthand account


Aug 31, 2018, 12:27 PM

I've spoken to people with firsthand accounts. People that heard the radio broadcast in Vietnam over the Propaganda Speakers. I'll maintain my position in the matter. By all means, I wish no ill will towards the man or his family. I simply think that the truth should be revealed and the fact that the records were sealed tells me that we may never know. If guilty of recording propaganda videos for the enemy, I would argue that he was not a hero, but indeed violated the Articles of the Code of Conduct.

Several men came forward in 2008 and they formed a group. Men who directly served with him or served in the Area of Operations in Vietnam during that time. The group was silenced by the media. Yet, several have went on to ensure that the truth gets put out to the public.

Was John McCain a bad person? I do not believe so, but a HERO he was not. At least in my opinion. To me, heroes are men like Raphael Peralta who selflessly sacrificed his life to save his squad. After being shot multiple times he threw himself on a grenade and absorbed the blast with his body which shielded his squad from the explosion. He died from his act of heroism. John McCain was shot down, captured, tortured, propagated for the enemy via aired radio confessions, and returned home to a hero's welcome. Jason Dunham is another Marine who selflessly sacrificed himself by jumping on a grenade to save the lives of his fellow team members. I just do not see how a person who did nothing heroic to save anyone is considered to be a hero. It's a lie and regardless of what John McCain allegedly did after the fact in his political career does not negate the fact that he violated the articles of the code of conduct in combat.

It's quite rude to speak evil of the dead in the broad scope of being a Christian and Southern Gentleman. I wish you had made that post in the past and not held out until the man couldn't defend himself. Sometimes a filter is needed for politeness.

You said your opinion now please let it rest. He will never harm again.

And why should anyone here believe you?

You've spouted off crazy stuff before. You've said you want people with different political opinions from you to die.

I think you're making it all up. Show me proof to the contrary.

The scary part in all of this Chesty is that despite evidence to the contrary, what any reasonable person would call "facts" you're going to insist that you are right. The fact is that you choose for emotional reasons to believe the hogwash you've been reading put forward by liars with an axe to grind against McCain.

You want to believe that you, among the few, really know the truth. You want to see yourself as intellectually superior to the masses. That you can "see through" all the propaganda and understand the truth. That is the very essence of those who embrace conspiracy theories...the idea that somehow THEY see what others cant. Unfortunately for you and those like you the emotional payoff is far to great for you to abandon.

The fact is my friend you're just wrong. McCain was a hero, he served his country gallantly and suffered his injuries for the rest of his life.

I don't know you personally but I would suggest you look in the mirror and ask yourself how you can so easily defame a man who endured countless hours of pain and horror that would invariably crush a man like you. Maybe that's why you want to believe those lies. So as to limit the pain of knowing there exist men far noble than yourself.

You shame the uniform you wore.

Did you feel this way before a couple years ago?

Also, didn't he choose to stay in the Hanoi Hilton after he was offered release because he knew the Vietnamese were trying to embarrass his father by giving him special treatment?
