We really didn't care back then because that was expected of a politician. Now that we had Trump, even being able to string a sentence together without using "fake news" "alternate facts" "what about them" "why don't you ask *Insert someone else's name*" gets you nominated for a noble peace prize.
--refused to use his Admiral's son status to be released as POW --defended and praised his political opponent --cast an unpopular vote against his Party's will, jeopardizing his career --explained "I do not serve the Republican Party. I serve the people of Arizona." My. Fucking. Hero.
His son is a hero too he rescued all Afghan pilot and their family from the hands of taliban after the falling of Kabul,Afghanistan I’m one of the pilot’s’ family member Thank you maccains family
It really doesn't matter where you come from or how poor or rich you where while growing up, what truly matters in life is standing for what's right when the time calls for it! And John McCain did that more than once what an amazing human being! RIP John McCain!🙏🙏
@@sourpqnda4672 Obama WAS a Muslim. He grew up INDONESIA - the largest Muslim cpountry in the world and both fathers - real (Kenyan) and step (Indonesian) - were MUSLIMS. You obviously don;tknow much about Barack HUSSEIN Obama, do ya?
I knew In 2008 he was a true patriot. After watching this I question how someone could not vote for this man. He was one of the few politicians that would openly reach across the isle. A true gem of our country
A true hero and a true patriot. He defined the very best in a human being. Rest in peace John Mc Cain. Ask God to watch over and protect the country we all love.
Sat semi close to him at an MLB Dbacks base game 2014 in Phoenix. Nervous to approach, to not interrupt him . Both He and his wife had about 4 stadium security, not police. Mid 7th stretch. Finally I thought, maybe...I truly had been researching Vietnam for community college. I'm no journalist, Told him that. He told me to take a seat, and we talked about it 3-4 minutes until his wife was back, after a restroom visit. I knew to get up, but he thanked ME for my interest in learning about the war, because it carried on the memory of those who died by having class in school...He shook my hand, took pic w me on my Iphone from one of the security guys. Great life moment for me. I still have the photo.
Obama's eulogy to this masterpiece of a human being also made me weep. McCaine was such an inspirational American and it's clear he understood that America's greatest strength is that We Are a Civil Society. A human life is so short, it is a miracle I got to be here while he was.
Sorry America, McCain Was No Hero, Here’s a List of Wars He Begged For That Proves It Washington (GPA) - Earlier this week notorious war hawk US Senator John McCain (R-Az) died from brain cancer. While the liberal and conservative establishments are sending their regards, Geopolitics Alert instead compiled a list of reasons why we don’t care about McCain. The list is, of course, a history of all the instances McCain has called for US-led intervention around the world. There’s clearly a long history here, so Geopolitics Alert has compiled the most blatant examples from Europe to Asia. We’ll start with the obvious wars first. Afghanistan and Iraq Obviously, every US Senator (besides California’s Barbara Lee) voted to give President George W. Bush the power to invade Afghanistan following the events of September 11th. However, McCain wasn’t happy with just moving to invade Afghanistan. No, he had other targets on his mind as early as the day after the towers fell. Despite McCain’s claim in 2014 that “the Iraq war probably wouldn’t have happened” if he had won the 2000 Republican primary and the general election, this assertion seems ridiculous. On September 12th, 2001, McCain appeared on MSNBC presenting an extensive list of countries he felt were providing a “safe harbor” to groups like al Qaeda. This list, of course, included Iraq and several other nations that appear later on this list. Syria Another country on that 2001 list (of course) was Syria. Now, the Bush regime may have never gotten a chance to continue toppling Mideast countries (thanks to the failure in Iraq and the exposure of that war being sold on lies). But McCain seemingly never lost sight of his hatred for Bashar Al-Assad. Shortly after the Arab Spring “broke out” in Syria, McCain - and his constant partner in war crimes Sen. Lindsey Graham - quickly found communication channels with the “Syrian opposition.” Just a few short months after the US endorsed protests in Syria (even having their ambassador attend), McCain and Graham began calling for arms to start flowing to the Free Syrian Army and other “rebel” groups. Libya McCain’s plans for Syria never quite worked the way he wanted, but he probably should’ve known they would never yield a positive result. If McCain didn’t want to look at Iraq to prove that point, he had another more recent example he could’ve used: the NATO intervention in Libya. It was less than a year before McCain wanted to arm Syrian takfiris that he had supported with the bombing and no-fly zones in Libya. McCain even wanted tougher actions against the country. Which has now become an anarchic Wild West that’s home to all sorts of horrors from the Islamic State to a new slave trade. West and Central Africa McCain is also a champion of the “war on terror” in other parts of Africa. While McCain hasn’t directly supported terrorists in some countries in Africa, he still has called for more US intervention across the continent. This list includes countries dealing with Islamic insurgencies, such as Mali. McCain has also called for plans like “deploying Special Forces” to rescue girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria and intervention in Sudan, where McCain and his wife have invested money for some time. Iran Another country on the list of hated nations initially put forth by Bush undersecretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz, and also another longtime target of McCain is, of course, Iran. Although McCain has always said “he prays” there will never be a war with Iran, the man incessantly calls for it and even jokes about bombing the country when he feels the mood is right. The truth of the matter is, McCain’s positions towards Iran are so hostile that even flagship neoconservative institutions like the Cato Institute think he is too hawkish. Bosnia and Kosovo But McCain isn’t satisfied with just backing Salafi jihadists in the traditional Middle East and North African theaters. He’s also backed violent radicals across the fringes of Europe. This trend actually started in the mid-1990’s when McCain was a vocal supporter of then-president Bill Clinton’s war in Bosnia. Many Muslims traveling to Bosnia joining the mujahideen there have since joined groups like IS in recent years. And IS flags can occasionally be seen in the Sunni areas of Bosnia now. McCain was still backing potential Takfiri movements, recently accusing Russia of interfering in local affairs, and calling for more US intervention in the country. McCain made similar decisions when he advocated US intervention in Kosovo in the late 90’s. In the Kosovo conflict, McCain backed the Kosovo Liberation Army: a genocidal jihadist organization with ties to Al Qaeda under Osama Bin Laden. Ukraine Don’t be fooled into thinking that McCain only supports jihadists in Eastern Europe! He also backs the overt Nazis acting as death squads for Kiev in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict. This, of course, started in 2014, but McCain has continued to pledge support for Kiev’s crimes in the Donbass region to this day. This is all par for the course in McCain’s larger theme of challenging Russia- the country he believes controls the separatists in eastern Ukraine. Russia The story of McCain’s hatred of Russia spans back to the Cold War. We won’t get into McCain’s fear of communism that’s evolved into just general Russophobia. But we will say he didn’t have many excuses to focus on making threats towards Moscow for a good 15-20 year stretch. This changed in 2008, with the war in South Ossetia between Georgia and Russia. During this conflict, McCain was the loudest voice saying the US “should immediately call a meeting of the North Atlantic Council to assess Georgia’s security and review measures NATO can take to contribute to stabilizing this very dangerous situation.” This same situation repeated in Ukraine in 2014 but McCain’s worst comments came this year. As soon as the US Intelligence Community’s accused Russia of interference in the 2016 US elections- and without any evidence- McCain was first to say the event was an “act of war.” North Korea The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DRPK/North Korea) was also an early target of McCain’s making his September 12th wish list. More recently though, the restyled “Trump opponent” McCain was all-in on the new regime’s saber rattling. Calling on Trump to strike the nuclear-armed country. Bonus: China China is kind of in its own class with McCain, who’s made strange, vague threats towards the country in the past. Such as “the Arab spring is coming to China,” whatever that means. China may be a target on the periphery for McCain, but he does still encourage antagonizing the country to this day. Calling for things like more “freedom of navigation drills” and other naval exercises in the South China Sea. So, in summation, next time someone asks why you don’t care about John McCain’s clock running out, show them this article. McCain has encouraged the spread of death worldwide. The day he leaves Congress will be a victory for the human race.
We need politician like him in France. You were very lucky to have a politician like John McCain. History will remember him as a honorable human being and a great lawmaker.
What an amazing man, so selfless and his love for our beautiful country had no boundaries, he did what was right. He will always be remembered for his service and being a war hero. R.I.P
Senator/Commander Mc Cain was a great and honorable man.. RIP.. You will be missed...I thank you for what you did to get these VA Hospitals in order.. You always supported Veterans and Servicemen...God Bless You...
Dropping bomb from thousands of feet away is hardly a military achievement compared to Huey helicopter pilots and ground forces busting their butts and racking up purple hearts and MEDAL OF HONOR. McCunt didnt have one boo hoo.
Im sorry but what do you expect when you invade another country and literally drop bombs on them however I have a great deal of respect for this man as he helped release political prisoners in the middle east
RIP. On this three year anniversary we say goodbye to an American Hero who sacrificed everything to make a positive change to the world. RIP Tumour, you truly will be missed 😢
Did you not see the video explain after his plane was hit by a missile, he had to eject. He landed breaking both arms n a leg...so, how was he expected to avoid capture?
Exactly!! And one fellow even stated Mccain's arms were broken by his ejecting first and foremost. I wish all vets would take a good hard look at how much money he DENIED to go towards health care and raises, and opening new clinics....to help the vets. Go read please. He voted NO on every single one except tiny one, not worth much. I too lauded him until I looked into his voting record!! And to see this PHOTO FEST FROM CINDY AND MEGHAN to boot, for the press, ......good grief. Get a grip. The pauses, the poses, and the pomp.
@@majaelle9795 thank you. Let me tell you that I also believe he died and rose again. He died for our sins and if we repent and trust in him. We will be saved from hell. Thank you
Gullible idiots think McStain was a hero. He voted against a better health plan than Obamacare, he made ISIS, he never participated on how to make a good health care plan, he played on his cell phone when he was supposably "serving Americans". You dumb gullible fools.....But God is never deceived. McCain is back in a pow camp down below for his HIGH crimes against the people and sins against God.
He's no hero. It didn't take much brains to turn down the "get out of jail" card...as he's smart enough to know his future political career as a "hero" would be tarnished forever. By the time he got the offer from the North Vietnamese, his treatment had vastly improved anyway. And the word is out that a lot of the POW's who were there couldn't stand him.
The real legacy: Millions of families in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Syria, eastern and southern Ukraine, Yemen and elsewhere are not mourning McCain's death. They have their own family members to mourn - courtesy of McCain.
Fernando we used to call your pitches throwing the bean burrito back in the day anyway shut the fuck up stupid little bitch . Oh yeah who gives a fuck about those stupid country's or your opinion.
This man was an Aviator who was the only congressman to defended the service of the A 10 warthog for years. With him gone so to is the A 10. You both will be missed.
USAF doesn't need it, and keeping the airframe active means keeping the training & maint pipelines running, costing money. This isn't the first time he forced a service to retain an obsolete weapon system because "mug big guns" is easier to understand than technology. Ask the Navy about that.
@@JENKEM1000 you do understand that the USAF is thinking about putting props back in action. Just because it's obsolete doesn't mean it doesn't work. If you look a the 1911 and M3 Grease Gun which were was still in action In Desert Storm, it worked and people used them. The cost of keeping the A 10 would be cheaper than replacing it with the F35, which doesn't even work. Countries like Australia and the UK have bought the F35 and reported that the couldn't even get of the ground. To many control failures and system breakdowns.
@@Redheadlaughs look up the committee he chaired when the families of the missing tried to get the records release. He made sure to seal them forever. There was so much information on his crap until he died. He went above and beyond trying to convince America that a walking K neat a pow camp picked up by a satellite was anything but put there by an American. This is even on an episode of" What on Earth"
@@teresathompson3758 Total bull shit. ALL records are sealed. Except to the person they cover. And people needing to know. Learn the truth before you spread lies. If a family member needs them. All they have to do. Is show proof they are related.Learn the truth before you spread bull shit.
Remember this man fought against MLK day. He was against women’s rights. Lived a life of privilege and was a beneficiary of nepotism and the military industrial complex.
Senator McCain was a war hero.!!! Prisoner of war. What he went through for the American people for us! All of us. He believed. He was respected honorable man. And decent. And I respect him and miss him. He had to stand up to bully. Not today. He tough smart man.
I cry for your leaving us which you had no control over because of your failing health you are a true HERO for USA you suffered in solitary confinement you offered your life o true Patriot John Mc Cain 💙 ❤
