McCain and all this "fighting for his country" BS
OK, so I'll confess right at the start that I'm a pinko commie faggot, but all this McCain the war hero, tortured in prison having been shot down while serving his country stuff is really getting on my tits.

McCain was over 8,000 miles from US soil, flying an A-4E Skyhawk ground attack aircraft. His job was to drop bombs on the heads of a peasant army, killing who knows how many civilians as a by-product, in a country far away that didn't attack the US and indeed couldn't have attacked the US even if it had tried. He volunteered for this job, and was paid to do so by US Government.

I don't doubt that he was treated very badly when he was shot down or that he endured a lot of pain and suffering as a result. But enduring pain and suffering isn't enough to to earn you hero status.

Or did someone redefine the word hero when I wasn't looking?

He doesn't refer to himself as a hero.

Did Trafalger? Did Nelson?

The problem is that the Poms haven't had a military hero since Harold. And they can't admit it because he knocked off 30 ragheads by himself.

And you sorry kunts cant admit that because you all find curry lovely and Indian take-away Brilliant.

Easier to blame the Yanks for everything. -- stupid cunts. This yank is getting tired of it.

I'm not blaming the yanks for everything. I'm just saying all this McCain the hero is bull. You need to do something heroic in a good cause to earn that. Getting shot down, captured and tortured while you were busy dropping bombs on complete strangers who had never done anything to you doesn't fit the bill.

Landing on the beaches of Normandy under heavy fire in order to free Europe from the Nazis does.

Yes and no. 3 to 4 million Vietnamese, and 1.5 to 2 million Laotians and Cambodians were killed. 58,159 U.S. soldiers were killed.

No, I didn't think so. Another fat-mouthed [at][at][at][at] spewing anit-American bullshit.

Andy McNab? dork.

'Cause like Tx said, we got one and y'all haven't had one in dogs ages. If it wern't for election-season, this 'War Hero' stuff wouldn't surface.

McCain did spend 5.5 years being subjected to the NVA 'hospitality', came away from it not feeling sorry for himself - the guy does have guts.

Ask a military man...

Ask the guy on the street...

Ask a woman working in the grocery store...

You stupid cunts believe everything you see on TV.

Worse than Americans.

Most Americans Dem and GOP respect him for his integrity.

You might want to look it up.

The last 'Hero' UK had was Lady Thatcher and 90% of the Libtards aboard here loath her. Heh...what does that say for the 'represenetive sample' eh?

Joining the army in the UK is a choice, no one forces you to do it, same as any other form of employment, you are paid to do a job.

McCain comes from a long line of Leaders and it's a natural he follow in their footsteps.
