It’s Kinja, not a classroom. A person could be commenting while doing several other tasks and using any number of different devices. For example I could be riding a bike at the gym right now and not paying no nevermind to grammar or punctuation. Or it could be a translation issue. It’s a quick and dirty medium. That’s…

Wrong. It displays a consistent mindset. It shows years of commitment. It gives insight to the person’s character. That’s why it gets brought up within the context of the person. That’s why Duckworth and others mentioned it during her campaign, it speaks to the motivation if the person and why. It shows the grounded…

Fair enough. Cheers to you and your family.

Four? What McCain did and the circumstances surrounding it is nothing short of heroic. My grandmother is buried at Arlington. For 50 years of service to her country.

This cannot be a serious question. But, let’s take Tammy Duckworth as an example. Her family has been in service to the country since the Revolutionary War. What does that say to you about her make up as a person, her dedication, her loyalty and her commitment to public service? You can’t figure that out? Because it…

I agree.

Neither did we.

He was not a reckless pilot. They just don’t hand the keys over to multi million dollar equipment to reckless pilots. Sorry. One crash was pilot error. One was not. One he was shot down. I’ve been in three helo crashes. Makes me reckless huh. Or maybe the obvious. In combat situations if ya fly enough ya gonna crash.…

Now. You are lying. He didn’t get outta ANYTHING. You are repeating fake news from 2008 presidential campaign. And umm yeah. Chain of command in a pow situation is more paramount in a dire situation, like a pow camp. For example ya gotta go up the chain to ask if you can attempt an escape. Care to hazard a guess why…

The op said trump was right. I disagree. Also we can and should recognize a personal commitment to public service when we see it manifest itself so clearly. Like the McCain family or Kennedy family or Khan family. Public service marked with sacrifice. And McCain is a hero. What he did and all the circumstances…

My only point was when the op said they agreed with trump that McCain was not a hero. What he did and the circumstances surrounding it was nothing short of heroic. I don’t agree with alotta his politics. Like going after Assad. I think it’s a quagmire. McCain advocated early and often for intervention and saw the…

I stand with the Khan Family also. Vigorously.

They was lying.

I’ve been in three help crashes. All it really means is I flew alot in some high risk places within some high risk maintenance turnaround. Like McCain, and all combat pilots. He was an excellent pilot.

Naw. You’re repeating 2008 fake news presidential campaign lies. His last name actually hurt him. It might have helped him in school. Might have. But once on active duty he would have been held to a higher standard. Because of his last name.

Him and Hillary. Oddly enough.

Also, he went to top of list for release because of his injuries as decided by the chain of command inside the camps. No way he would have been punished or even looked down upon for leaving early. He was gravely ill. The Vietnamese didn’t want him dying on their watch as they had already botched surgeries on him…

Everything you typed is 2008 presidential campaign lies. Fake news sources from 2008.

First; your father is lying. McCain was not “hot-dogging” it over enemy anti-aircraft batteries. He was commended for his piloting skills in fact. Second, he was not subject to military court over leaving early. Because, the Vietnamese had final say so... Also he was offered twice and declined. Knowing they were…

Uhhhhh. His father was CINCPAC. If John McCain wanted to get out of Vietnam his father could have gave him a cushy job running the officers boq in Subic. Or had him stateside. It just occurred to me you made that all up. In fact his last name put him at the front of the line.
