Trump Vs. McCain READ DESCRIPTION. John McCain has been using the War Hero thing as a crutch for years and is no good as a politician. He is glorified for somet

John McCain has been using the War Hero thing as a crutch for years and is no good as a politician. He is glorified for something that HUNDREDS of pilots went through during Vietnam, but the only reason he got popular was because his father was a well known Navy admiral. On top of that he only flew 16 missions. I personally know a legitimate war hero and his family that never got any recognition at all. McCain sucks as a leader and has abused the his status as hero for actions that hundreds of others did and never got any notice. Trump was the only one to notice this and call him out.Here is a link to a real war hero that I can gladly say was a friend of my family for many years: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_J._Novosel

$"McCain, a Naval aviator, was shot down in 1967 over North Vietnam and fractured both arms and legs after being ejected from his aircraft. He was repeatedly tortured during his stay in the notorious "Hanoi Hilton" -- and refused early release when the North Vietnamese learned his father was a Navy admiral -- until he finally returned home in 1973 following the Paris Peace Accords. ... Trump, meanwhile, received several deferments during the war. According to The Smoking Gun, which obtained selective service records for Trump in 2011, he received four student deferments between 1964 and 1968, and later a medical deferment in 1968." www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/donald-trump-john-mccain-war-hero/$

Just proving my point by going for McCain's crutch. He uses his hero status to push he ideals and opinions, and like I said Trump called him on his BS. McCain is no good as politician, but constantly gets praise for something HUNDREDS of other pilots went through. He acts like special snow flake about it.

Donald Trump questions if McCain is a 'war hero'

All I'm saying is that it seems a little silly to praise Trump in this situation, given the lengths he went to to avoid serving in the first place.

I agree that what he said was a little unnecessary, but people are acting like he is anti Christ for it. I simply think he was straight forward enough to say what he was thinking

Do you idiots wake up every morning and say "Ah, yes. Time to go debate politics on a website where people post funny pictures." Go outside and get a girlfriend.

Who ever said the site's sole purpose was to simply post funny stuff ? Sadly we don't have /pol/ so I simply post here and see what we get.

yeah i live in a free country so my freedom of speech actually still applies on the internet
i learn most of my current events on fj rather than looking through news sites and tv, and then do research on the interesting stuff i want to talk about on here again.

#13 to #12 - anon (07/20/2015) [-]

haha. That is possibly one of the worst ways to hear about your current events (liek literally every story you get here is so skewed (albeit in the opposite direction of what you find in popular media however)

Do you really think I'd be here if I could get a girlfriend?

And then there is a sensible reason why Trump is so full of hot air... His hair has taken over his brain:

Yes, and dont get me wrong it was a pretty jackass thing to say, but he does a have point.

I hate that Chapo thing going on. So many people think he's badass because he's a drug kingpin and they think he lives a scarface kind of life. The guy is a ******* murderer that bribes his way out of anything and those who don't take it get killed. it's sad as **** that mexico is a super dangerous country now. We used to drive down every few years but since all the highway robberies and murders going down hardly anyone goes on road now.
