"I like the people who weren't captured"

[Bigdog]

Let's not forget on Memorial Day: someone who served as CIC said this about brave soldiers who put themselves in harm's way for this country, and went through the ordeal of being a prisoner of war.

And he's the frontrunner for the GOP in '24. For a voting base who USED to proclaim that they were more pro-military than the other side.

^^^^^^
The dem pointy hood of virtue signaling.


Everyone knows that Pres. Trump was extremely PRO U.S. military and pro law and order. And Obama and Biden are NOT.

Biden and Lloyd Austin targeted all WHITE U.S. soldiers as suspected supremacists because of their skin color.

Dumb troll.

Donald Trump's hatred expressed towards McCain was the straw that broke a lot of Republicans backs.

And many of them will never vote Republican again.

It was just stupid and disgraceful.

McCain was one of the most well respected, beloved, and honored Congressman of all times by everyone.

Trump doesn't really like anybody but for what passes for "like" with him he probably likes servicemen who weren't wounded even more, and saves his best "likes" for those who weren't killed.

So you say they should have committed suicide to prevent being captured?
You are not a patriot or an American

You truly are an idiot. Surrendering when you position becomes impossible to recover is fine and reasonable. Your own military rewarding that action is stupid (like you). No need for suicidal action. You fought well, ended up losing, and were captured. You did your duty, but that doesn't deserve an award for losing and being captured.

[BartenderElite]

When did you stop beating your significant other?

LOL

I love how your response implies that it was a "gotcha" question. Please see T.A.'s response.

[T. A. Gardner]

So a guy is fighting and is shot
Rendered unconscious
And taken prisoner
So you shame him for that?

No, but I also don't reward him for it. It's like getting a 'Participation' trophy to award failure. You don't criticize or punish it because the person(s) involved tried their best, but their best didn't produce a win.

[BartenderElite]

Yes. Absolutely. It is rare in warfare for individual soldiers to surrender to the other side successfully. They usually end up dead instead. Most POW's are created by a mass surrender of one side to the other. Whether that comes from a failure of leadership, planning, or execution of plans, it happens. One exception to this in modern warfare is found in aerial combat. This often takes place over enemy territory, and when the aircraft being piloted is shot down (eg., fails to complete its mission) the pilot (and crew) often survives and is captured.

In every case, it is failure at the heart of how POW's come to be. You don't become a POW because you won the battle or the war.

If you pin a medal on a POW for becoming one, you are rewarding failure. That doesn't mean you should penalize those that became POW's not through their own volition either. They were just unfortunate enough to end up captured. That happens in war.

This is incomprehensible, and unreal.

Getting captured is not a "failure." It is not shame. Anyone who puts themselves in harm's way to preserve our way of life is a hero, imo - and moreso those who ended up in captivity.

The above response should be a disgrace to every true American.

McCain was shot the fuck out of the air you dirt bag ruski


He was gravely injured and could not walk



Trump said he wasn’t a hero

[T. A. Gardner]

Yes, it’s all I have for your disgusting post. Obviously, from someone who hasn’t ever served, had someone held prisoner or someone killed in battle. Your post is idiocy.

Oh, so we should reward failure hum? Explain why the military should do that.

The bolded is clearly false. Anyone who is "extremely pro U.S. military" honors service.

Trump cancels WW1 memorial at U.S. cemetery in France due to rain

President Donald Trump could not attend a commemoration in France for U.S. soldiers and marines killed during World War One on Saturday because rain made it impossible to arrange transport, the White House said.

So, what is it then? If it's now failure, what is it?

So McCain failed ?

Embarrassing. Especially on Memorial Day.

Trumps are extremely selfish and self-serving. No Trump ever served . I read his granddad fled Germany when he was going to get drafted. Trump presumes the right to lead an army he refused to serve in. And he calls himself a military expert and says he knows more than the generals.
