do i see the libs trembling over the inevitability of BIG MAc



i think u may not like him cuz u probably havnt heard of him until recently, but if you have been paying attention for the past 20 years you wouldnt say such things about this man

also the fact that he spent 5 years in a POW camp doesnt mean its good cuz hes against torture. u are barely grasping the surface:

John Mcain is shot down over vietnam faithfully serving his country.

the enemy drags his lifeless body away and toss him a a dungen and leave him for dead

they later find out he is the son of a very promenemt admiral and put him in the hospital

they throw him back in the dungen with a full body cast where his fellow captive patriots care for him and slowly nurse him back to health

once healed they torture and rebreak his arms several times to the point where he cant even raise his hands up anymore till this day

after the toture they offer to release him due to his fathers high status in the US military.

John Mcain refuses to leave stating there are others who have been there many years longer than him.

they toss him in solitary confinement for 2 years for this

he survives this dark period and is released five years after his plane was shot down after the end of the war in Vietnam.

many things come to mind for me.

Honor
Courage
Selflessness
Compassion
Defy
fighter
not a quiter
strong
empathiser
walks the walk
talks the talk
patriot
strength
humility
hope
achievment
success
optimistic
doesnt make excuses
