Actually... he did. If you think that is all he said, you haven't been paying attention. Trump actually stated it as fact.
But Donald never attacks, he only responds to an attack, which of course is another lie.
One thing I will give Trump credit for though.... he is a man of firsts. If I'm not mistaken, Trump is the first presidential candidate to say a war hero like McCain was not a war hero. And now, he's the first presidential candidate to suggest another rival candidate's family membrr may have been involved in the assassination of a former president.
McCain is not a war hero. He did not willingly place himself into a situation where he KNEW he was going to die to save another person, nor did he volunteer to assault a enemy machine gun nest alone etc. etc. etc. He flew a mission while drunk and got shot down. Far from being a hero.
Fuck you, you piece of shit. Anyone who served this country and refused to give up information after being tortured as a POW and who refused to be sent home ahead of other POWs which would have fed into the enemy's propaganda is a war hero. It's a shame you have insult our veterans in order to suck up to trash like Trump.
Bullshit. I KNOW true hero's. McCain ain't one of 'em. I don't like Trump so I don't need to suck to him, however assholes like you, who spit on our vets when they returned from Vietnam now try and wrap yourself in their misery bug the crap out of me. There is a huge difference between a P.O.W. and war hero. Some P.O.W. do heroic things while a prisoner and they are justifiably acknowledged for their sacrifice. Below is Stockdales MOH citation. HE is a hero. McCain ain't.
Citation:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while senior naval officer in the Prisoner of War camps of North Vietnam. Recognized by his captors as the leader in the Prisoners' of War resistance to interrogation and in their refusal to participate in propaganda exploitation, Rear Adm. Stockdale was singled out for interrogation and attendant torture after he was detected in a covert communications attempt. Sensing the start of another purge, and aware that his earlier efforts at self-disfiguration to dissuade his captors from exploiting him for propaganda purposes had resulted in cruel and agonizing punishment, Rear Adm. Stockdale resolved to make himself a symbol of resistance regardless of personal sacrifice. He deliberately inflicted a near-mortal wound to his person in order to convince his captors of his willingness to give up his life rather than capitulate. He was subsequently discovered and revived by the North Vietnamese who, convinced of his indomitable spirit, abated in their employment of excessive harassment and torture toward all of the Prisoners of War. By his heroic action, at great peril to himself, he earned the everlasting gratitude of his fellow prisoners and of his country. Rear Adm. Stockdale's valiant leadership and extraordinary courage in a hostile environment sustain and enhance the finest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.
