John McCain was a US senator from 3 January 1987 until his death on 25 August 2018. During the 2016 United States presidential election campaign, Donald Trump – who did not serve in the military himself and avoided the draft through a series of deferments – attacked John McCain's record of service and said the Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war is "not a war hero" because he was captured: "I like people that weren't captured," Trump said.

Career

He completed flight school in 1960, and became a naval pilot of ground-attack aircraft; he was assigned to A-1 Skyraider squadrons aboard the aircraft carriers USS Intrepid and USS Enterprise in the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas. McCain began as a sub-par flier who was at times careless and reckless; during the early to mid-1960s, two of his flight missions crashed, and a third mission collided with power lines, but he received no major injuries. His aviation skills improved over time, and he was seen as a good pilot, albeit one who tended to "push the envelope" in his flying.

USS Forrestal

John McCain was involved in the accident which is known as the USS Forrestal fire. On the 29th of July 1967, a rocket that was accidentally fired from an aircraft, struck another aircraft which caused a fuel leak that ignited and started to burn on deck. McCain, who sat in his airplane and was going through preflight checks, in his memoir, says that this rocket knocked two bombs from his own airplane whom landed in the burning fuel and exploded some time thereafter. Mary Hershberger investigated official documentation and his claims and concludes that his account can at times not be united with the facts. She leaves open the possibility that he panicked and released the bomb in error himself; she also notes that: "McCain’s actions after the fire show a determination to exit the ship as quickly as possible. When New York Times reporter Apple finished gathering his notes on the fire, McCain boarded a helicopter with him and flew to Saigon."

Prisoner of war

Putin is 'rebuilding Russian empire' says Senator McCain - BBC HARDtalk - 2014.

His recordings as Tokyo Rose while he was prisoner of war for five and a half years in Vietnam were found and released in 2016.

Criticism

YouTube video

Following his comments in February 2017 that Donald Trump's administration was in "disarray", a video entitled "The truth about John McCain" was published on Facebook on 1 March. The video, which criticised McCain over his war record in Vietnam, the money he is said to receive from George Soros, the McCain Institute funded by Saudi Arabia and his association with the terror group ISIS, had been viewed 1.2 million times and shared by 28,715 users by 17 March 2017.

With Simon Elliot

The New York Times has denied the identity of the man pictured left with John McCain, stating that "The [false] rumors are based partly on images of a Syrian fighter who resembles Mr. Baghdadi, seen in photographs with Mr. McCain".

Opinions

During the US/2008 Presidential election campaign, McCain (completely sober that is) started an eerie prose on Iran after a question in the audience to send a response to "Iranian hostile actions". in which he planned the idea in donors and voters their heads that Iran would give their nuclear weapons to "terrorist" organizations. How these individuals would deploy it for example was not touched. Perhaps a slip of things to come?

Matthew 12:34: "You brood of vipers! How can you speak good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."

“Republican 2008 presidential hopeful John McCain crooned the words “Bomb Iran” to a Beach Boys’ tune in joking response to a question about any possible U.S. attack over Tehran’s suspected nuclear weapons program. “That old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran ... bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb,” the Vietnam War veteran warbled softly to the band’s “Barbara Ann” when he was asked when the United States would send an “airmail message” to Iran.”

Also during the 2008 presidential election campaign (on live US television) he referred to the JFK assassination as "the intervention". His exact words were: "... the way Barry Goldwater and Jack Kennedy agreed to do, before the intervention, the tragedy at Dallas" immediately followed by a hand to nose and look away from the audience gesture.

Death

In May 2018, CNN reported McCain did not want President Trump at his funeral.

Hedges v. Obama	Daniel Ellsberg Chris Hedges Noam Chomsky Jenifer Bolen Kai Wargalla Birgitta Jónsdóttir Alexa O'Brien	Barack Obama Leon Panetta John McCain John Boehner Harry Reid Eric Cantor Nancy Pelosi US Department of Defense Mitch McConnell United States of America	13 January 2012	28 April 2014	The plaintiffs challenged the 2012 NDAA contending that indefinite detention on "suspicion of providing substantial support" to groups such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban was so vague as to allow unconstitutional, indefinite detention of civilians based on vague allegations. The Court of Appeals struck down an initial agreement, and the US Supreme Court concurred, arguing that the plaintiffs could not prove they would be affected by the law, so had no standing to contest it.
