Dogged FOIA journalist Jason Leopold finally got the documents 3 years after the request. Yes, the individual Constitutionally in charge of the US Navy apparently would have reacted in way that required concealing a US Destroyer. Still shocking, even if it shouldn’t be. And yet, people that support him will claim the label of “patriot”, wrongly
As the sailors and crew went to work moving the destroyer I wonder if the White House told them why; “sailors, you have to move this ship asap. Just seeing this ship will upset Dear Leader as he doesn’t like McCain”
The degree of weeniehood is really quite amazing. It’d be amazing for anyone past the age of 8. But for someone who so many claim is this super strong, brave, macho patriot … mind boggling
While I did not vote for McCain due to his vice presidential pick, I've always respected his military service and just can not understand the lack of support for him in the republican party after the nasty trumph comments concerning McCain. If he wasn't a hero, no one is.
Being in a military town, I was really surprised Trump wasn't hurt by that. This was before McCain's vote on Obamacare, though I understand why that angered many Republicans. I suppose there was a perception following 2008 that McCain was too nice to Obama because he wouldn't go along with attacking Obama for being an Arab foreigner.
Not only the republican party Where in the hell are all the veterans and military? They threw him, and many other respected career military men under the bus the second Trump told them to. That disappointed me more than a bunch of cowardly politicians being pansies. McCain suffered so others could go home. How easily they dismissed him is astonishing
