LT GENERAL MCINERNEY CALLS McCain SONGBIRD JOHN

For years I have called him the "Manchurian Candidate", thought Songbird was too kind.

LT GENERAL THOMAS MCINERNEY CONDEMNED REBUKE OF HASPEL – CALLS HIM SONGBIRD JOHN

McCain also got special treatment, getting released earlier than other POWs because of his father. McCain is a stain on the country and a complete and total piece of sh*t. Songbird John is perfect.

Didn't that scumbag give info that got people killed, and later pardoned? A disgrace to those who have served past and present.

I cannot stand John McCain. He is a Deep State RINO if there ever was one.

That said, I will never criticize him for what may have happened in the Hanoi Hilton, shy of becoming a total turncoat (which I've never heard of happening). Did he break under torture? Probably, but ANY ONE OF US would break facing the same things done like he faced. This isn't waterboarding we're talking about, but actual freaking torture. Things like using ropes and bars to pull your shoulders out of socket. Using strips of tires to whip your flesh away. REAL shit. I've heard more than one Vietnam POW say "Everyone has a breaking point, EVERYONE."

For all the reasons I despise McCain, his actions while a POW are not among them.

I can't imagine what McCain went through as a POW. I do find it ironic that now he condemns Trumps nominee for CIA when he voted for John Brennan who was so vocal in support of enhanced interrogation when involved with it.

Whom are you speaking of?

McInerney never was a POW. McCain admitted that he broke under torture and signed confessions. None of which contained info about military plans = which as a fighter pilot would have been stale anyway.

The link goes to the typical unsubstantiated internet bullshit:

Finally, someone has called John McCain for what he’s really known for. Songbird John McCain is the name given to him after he told the Vietnamese everything they asked of him, including highly classified information about the U.S. Military, plans, and so forth. McCain also got special treatment, getting released earlier than other POWs because of his father. McCain is a stain on the country and a complete and total piece of sh*t. Songbird John is perfect.

Someone with the least bit knowledge of McCain and VN would know that this statement is false:

McCain also got special treatment, getting released earlier than other POWs because of his father. McCain is a stain on the country and a complete and total piece of sh*t. Songbird John is perfect.

McCain's father became CINCPAC after his capture. The NVNese offered him earlier release, which he refused. He was released with 108 other POW's in 1973 (reportedly the NVNese released by date of capture).

I've been reading about and following McCain's career since the 1980's. Other than his break with sanity by running with Palin, I pretty much agree with the way he has handled himself. You should read his books, he has a pretty good guy helping him.

It pisses me off that a draft dodging President, a senile former General, and an anonmous facebooker have disparaged his service because they don't agree with his position.

FWIW, it think she should head the CIA.

Brennan likes her, that scares the crap out of me.

McCain is McCain.

I was referring to McCain. All that is contrary to what I have read about him, and not via the book of face. I honestly don't know enough to take a definitive stance on his time as a POW; I believe him to be a scumbag for a number of other reasons. Particularly that of his wisdom on firearms.

Good Vid on the subject; https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=E_TvY8H-mWs When this POS dies, the Media will be playing the propaganda of his heroism, ad nauseum.

Sitting aside what has happened since he left the Navy and taking in to account the last twenty years of his career, I'm sorry, I'm not impressed.
Although he wears the seal of GOP approval, he certainly has not been very conservative.
He has been quick to appease the left, especially on DACA and as a Representative of Arizona, I'm not sure that name recognition alone must be the only thing getting him re-elected.
