    I never hated McCain on a personal level. Aspects of his character probably were genuinely endearing. But that's the trick. He wasn't somebody's uncle. He was a national political figure who spent decades advocating a political program which wrought untold death and destruction.

        Don’t forget his role in the S&L scandal. He is facing ultimate judgment on that.

        this is, indeed, the point. the politics of the personal is implicitly imperialist. on a similar vein, Bush Jr seems like a genuinely nice guy, on the basis of nearly every public appearance and interview I've ever seen with him. doesn't change the fact he killed millions

        John McCani is dead. My heart bleeds. But not for him. But his victims. Time has come that we stop praising a war monger after he is dead. One does not become an angel after living a life of a devil, after death. If that were the case, Hitler would also be praised.

        Maybe he was all of the above. Maybe he did what he thought was best with what he had to work with, or maybe he was a true warmonger and didn't GAF. None of it matters though if all anybody is going to do is complain about it on #Twitter.

        At least he put his money where his mouth was, can’t say that for other politicians who send people off to fight

        His father and grandfather were famous admirals. He was a graduate, last in class but nonetheless, of Annapolis. He crashed planes all over, set off an explosion on a plane deck that killed others. He had to fly combat missions, had no, zero, choice. Got shot down

        War also liberates people. We would not be a nation without war. War is terrible but it is at times neccessary.

        Absolutely. Let's not forget that his POW story is not exactly as the media portrays either - he is likely a man who gave up info. That in itself is not worth attacking, but the lie is.
