chris talpas Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I mourn the loss of a truly great man. His sense of personal integrity and putting the interests of the nation above petty partisanship will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family and many friends.

Erwin Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Could have taken advantage of his privileged position and political contacts to get released as POW early but refused to leave his comrades. Heroic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Wasn't that what Bush was saying to Michelle Obama "Hey here is a candy, by the way did you know General Jack Ripper once voted for him?" More seriously - Renee Fleming. Cindy McCain is strong, I think I'd have been bawling my eyes out during this. We played a version for my Father's service.

Sublime Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 RIP to a true man of honor even if that meant not toeing the party line - never afraid to correct outright lies falsehoods and smears even against his opponents. Respected even by his N Vietnamese captors to this day, and as was noted as the son of a Rear Admiral he could have secured release after a year. Ibstead he wouldnt leave his comrades behind and stayed another 5 years in hell for it. It boils my blood that a man who said STDS during the era of free love was "his Vietnam" had the nerve to insult McCains service and courage. I truly feel for his family and Im truly saddened that our country has become so damned divided that his death wasnt even enough to get certain people to show some respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Let it go, time enough for that elsewhere. It is an unnecessary distraction and takes the focus away from the man who deserved it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
