    So you think that the death of named individuals should be feted as a political event.

    How (typically) moronic.

    Yes I have no doubt that come the day the POTUS will give the war hero John McCain the adulation and respect that he deserves. A national Day of mourning no less. Rather than risk losing votes.
    Irony apart, I doubt even trump could be that two faced.. or could he :?:

    He can do it. He's the President.

    I think that promoting the BBC article as a tribute to McCain is disingenuous.

    Is the mourning period over yet?

    Why was he a war hero anyway - at the time he was shot down the war was highly discredited?

    Anyway there must have been other people that died today for us to move on to.

    [Trump's] retreat in the face of pressure from veterans groups demonstrates that he understands there's a limit to how much he can insult a high-profile veteran without damaging his own standing.

    When they talk about 'his own standing' they mean standing for re-election, not his much-stained character.

    Well done to the Trump administration for redefining NAFTA and frankly I hope that Canada is excluded to allow more trade from Europe and China which will meaningfully strengthen the world economies.

    Thats right - I was at Sandhurst - Victory College - the graduate course. I served with the Parachute Regiment - but I do not claim to be a hero. My question of MCain's status as an hero is skepticism. Just because you get captured does not make you a hero - and what was he doing when he was captured = look to the history of the Vietnam war. Anyway - he's had his chips.

    The issue of torture is such that half the IRA would be 'war heros' if torture was part of the criterion.

    So you can't answer the question I asked - go back to driving your van.

    I fully accept this issue that insulting a veteran is wrong and politically stupid.

    While never offering any corroborating evidence. Incidentally, there is no 'graduate course', which makes it all sound very unlikely...

    Trump's awake at 5:30 am, googles "Trump news" to find out what he did yesterday, and tweets complaining that he can only see left wing news sites. Everyone else does the same, and sees Fox News first.

    Strange he can't see any good news about him after his amazing performance on the speaker phone yesterday.

    No not. Just asking why he is a hero - no answer - but a lot of juvenile comments. ...that don't bother me.

    "The North Vietnamese offered McCain early release because they wanted to appear merciful for propaganda purposes and also to show other POWs that elite prisoners were willing to be treated preferentially. McCain refused repatriation unless every man taken in before him was also released" "McCain received two to three beatings weekly"

    You could have checked before making a bigger d1ck of yourself.

    "As a naval aviator, McCain flew attack aircraft from carriers. During the Vietnam War, he narrowly escaped death in the 1967 Forrestal fire. On his twenty-third bombing mission in October 1967, he was shot down over Hanoi and badly injured. He subsequently endured five and a half years as a prisoner of war, including periods of torture. In 1968, he refused a North Vietnamese offer of early release, because it would have meant leaving before other prisoners who had been held longer. He was released in 1973 after the Paris Peace Accords."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_lif ... ohn_McCain

    He was offered early release as his father was an admiral. Turning it down took integrity and balls. He also got a couple of medals.

    Obviously that doesn't compare with your time at Farnborough Tech.

    Why is someone a hero who has flown military jets in your country's service, been shot down, been captured, suffered 5.5 years captivity and then come home to serve your country as a senator for 30+ years? I really cannot see anything about him that makes him a hero.

    Yes, I'm with Trump and fish2 on this. A real hero uses family wealth/status and a barrage of lawyers to keep them out of national service in times of war. Heroes like Trump and Bush junior. I would feel so much safer with their kind of national service!

    (also fish2's service if the consensus is right about Walt).

    You know these are connected. The Parachute Regiment (not '..the paras' ) are I think the only regiment with three battalions after after multiple defence cuts. Simply because the organisation that is the Parachute Regiment realised that it was one of those most obviously having a candidacy for redundancy with the development of anti aircraft systems. So what they did - and they were the first to do so - was to load the officer ranks with graduates - this was in the 70s. And they took the best graduates more than 50% science grads - and even paid them through University (as they did with me) which in those days must have been interesting. Ultimately they populated the Army Board and even Chief of the ~Defence Staff with a disproportionate regimental representation through time. This ensured continuity of the regiment in spite of it being hated by the rest of the army. A degree of contempt reciprocated in spades. Of course the regimental standards were always maintained.

    I've never claimed an impressive 'military leadership record - I was just an officer in a good regiment for 8 years.

    And I don't have to prove anything - just like you.

    You might have missed the point. I was asking why he was a military hero and you have identified flying a jet which does not in itself constitute heroism. Anyway one of your friends has read Wiki and answered the simple question I asked. But thanks. I don't agree with your comment on the relative merit of draft dodging although I think that was the right response for Vietnam.
