I never saw the whole thing personally, but it sounds like he was taking a pot-shot at McCain in response to his pot-shot at him, yeah?

Thanks.
He questioned whether he should be consideted a hero because he got captured by the enemy. Then he went on and said "i dont like THOSE who get captured"
So not only he slammed mccain but every pow .
Prisoner of war.
Most people consider vets peace time or war heroes cause they vow to die so u can maintain your freedom.
There are less than 1% if america serving in the military now.

I beg to differ..... P.O.W is the acronym for Prisoner Of War....a combatant who has been captured and made a prisoner in enemy custody.....A War hero is a military combatant recognized for his valor, bravery and heroics in perhaps saving a platoon etc......There is a difference regarding how much you have engaged the enemy in the theater of battle....for example Bowe Bergdahl although a P.O.W is NOT a war hero..
Im going to let everyone soak that in for a sec.
So are u saying all those military people captured during war arent heroes?
So what are they?
Like trump you dont like them?
So when i group of men fight to kerp their position or achieve an objective are they heroes?
Are soldiers who die in action arent heroes?

They are all heroes to me, EXCEPT, those that dishonor the uniform.
Also, how do you feel about Frankel?
"I have tremendous respect for McCain but I don't buy the war hero thing. Anybody can be captured. I thought the idea was to capture them. As far as I'm concerned he sat out the war,"
- Al Franken, (D) Minnesota, to Salon for a 2000 article about the stakes of that year's presidential election.
And that was bs too , along with the swiftboat thing too.
They are to be held accountable

Well GL. when Archman suggested that McCain was moderate In his advocacy for the military, l was shocked, but curious .....and came across this investigation ...
There are POW families that do not like McCain andd this Report explains why...
McCain and the POW Cover Up..
The 'war hero' buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam

Like i told arch before ....u dont have to like his politics but respect his service. Kerry came to his defense.
I didnt vote for mccain. I differ with him on many issues but i be damned question his service.
Also read arch statement on who is a hero
Also arch nor trump even brought that up . If they did it still doesnt matter because it has nothing to do what he did on the battlefield.
Do u understand?
Also explain the statement i keep asking arch to explain. Arch keep avoiding that over and over.

You are right , Arch....thanks for the clarification..
It appears the purple heart is for those who have been injured (no self injury).
The Medal of Honor or Valor is for bravery/Heroism, etc..
I just looked up McCain's Medal distinctions, and he received, among others, The Purple Heart with one star, And the Prisoner of War Medal. He did not receive the Medal of Valor, however.
Thus, there indeed is a distinction in the Military between the two, even if in the general public's eye, there is none.

You even replied to it in post 403. You are repeating yourself (not the first time).
Maybe take a break from the thread and refresh?
Medal of valor discusses the level of the act . U can drag your wounded buddy from a crosd fire and that is an act of being a hero but u will not get an award for it. Its your job.....but you are a hero.
U need to read ehst it takes yo fet it and how many got it before u disqualify every other soldier., marine , sailor or airmen.

Excellent research as usual
Ms.Bliss.....but this will not improve the mans perspective......You see, it is not so such that he is defending of McCain,... instead he is frothing at the mouth with hatred for Trump and those who won't see fit to denounce Trump.....Again, the remark about McCain's capture was intended to defame and insult McCain.....He won't see that, because he don't want to see that....He wants to fight an opponent who is out of his reach........
U asked a question. Im asking u to explain what does it mean to say " i dont like those who got captured"
