And also I think this ties neatly into the whole "McCain is a hero" routine. Americans have been programmed to see victims as heros for so long that we assume that anyone that gets a stubbed toe, or a paper-cut, or gets mistreated by the enemy after they desert their post and defect is therefore a hero.
Meanwhile, real heros, medal of honor winners, etc... are denying that they are heros and are pointing to their dead comrades as the real heros. That's a common and consistent thread throughout military history. McCain brought it all on himself, IMO, because it was obvious that he really enjoyed being thought of as a politician with unimpeachable "military" credentials and captured prisoners in a controversial war that we lost do not make very good "war heros" 30 years later.
Think these millenials give a s*** about Vietnam? Could they tell you why the US sent forces there and what the "big picture" was, and why the average American had trouble supporting the war? (Draft, disproportionate number of racial minorities, etc...) Then decades later come to find out the anti-war movement was a Soviet intelligence operation.
Point here is that it's all one big blob of murk. Not like the black and white, good vs. evil nature of both WWI and WWII. So when McCain founds his political identity on the notion that he's some kind of special super-patriot that can do no wrong for the rest of his life, he's just begging for an entire ocean of backlash, pushback and resentment to build up and then wait for someone to light the fuse. And Trump did it.
And McCain is done, now and forever. Doesn't matter how the Presidential election turns out, one way or the other. It was stupid to run that feeble, tired, compromising, old man against a virile black man in his prime; like running Pee Wee Herman against Shaquille O'Neal. And throwning in what's-her-name, that twat from Alaska in for eye candy didn't help. All I could do with that combination was wonder if McCain was hitting it. Ultimately I decided he wasn't and only because he couldn't. They don't make Viagra in that high of a dose, and plus I would assume the strain of it would kill him.
Meaning that, her presence on the ticket only underscored his lack of virility (while he simultaneously argued in favor of every single war he could). I hate John McCain, btw. In case anyone missed that part. And, while I'm on the Rant, Romney's only purpose was to prepare the American People for polygamy, as was the unilateral, unprecedented, unconstitutional and treasonous ruling by the Supreme Court in favor gay marriage. At some point, the Muslims are going to take over this country, and turn it into a 3rd world defecation hole just like Syria, and Americans will be fleeing into the safe haven of Mexico, instead of the other way around.
