Ok, you guys want to talk about it here too:
His military Service started out by graduating in the bottom 1.5% of his class. Had his family not been career Admirals, one can surmise that he would have flunked out of the Academy as he had such low marks.
NOT IMPRESSIVE AT ALL!!
Had his family not been career Admirals, John would have never been permitted into Flight School. Finishing that low at the Academy regulates any other graduate to a desk job filling papers. Over the next 6 years, John McCain lost 4 Military Aircraft.
NOT IMPRESSIVE AT ALL!!
Within 20 hours of combat time in Vietnam, John McCain was shot down, something he was supposedly trained to avoid. (His 5th Aircraft lost).
NOT IMPRESSIVE AT ALL!!
As a captured prisoner, John McCain is quoted by himself as saying;
"I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital."
Now let's stop and review the Military Code of Conduct. Article 3:
"If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. "
John McCain violated the Code of Conduct by exchanging Military information for medical treatment.
Violating this Code of Conduct is punishable by death.
Now, if you or John McCain wants to talk about his Military career, then lets discuss it in full.
McCains Military career is traitorous at worst and was bestowed to him at best.
John was a shitty scholar, shitty flight student, and shitty warrior. He was basically a failure at everything he did in the military.
I am all for talking about the truth of the matter.
