This was posted by someone I follow on FaceBook. He says this better than I ever could.
I’ve never made any secrets of my revulsion of John McCain, HOWEVER, his recent passing simply stirs up old feelings inside that I’d long put aside.
I see all the flags at half staff today, but I see that the media and SOME VETERAN GROUPS put pressure on the President to extend the time set aside by the US Code for The American Flag. They did this without ever mentioning that he had simply followed protocol. They were looking for a reason to slander the President.
Now some brainless twit is recommending that if the President was contrite and wanted to do the right thing, McCain should be awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously.
Lets get a few things straight. The US Code for proper protocol for a MEMBER OF CONGRESS is that the flag be flown at half staff for TWO DAYS after the death. Certainly the code can be modified by the President, but realistically, what makes this senator different from anyone else.
Secondly, the Medal of Honor is bestowed for extraordinary acts of valor in the face of enemy combat. For John McCain to get that medal, he’d have had to do something no other POW had done EVER!
It was then that I realized exactly what this is all about.
It’s not that the Liberal mindset shows their hypocrisy or that the media actually cares.
It’s really a guilt complex and a sad attempt to assuage their worthless souls.
You see, whether I or thousands of other servicemen liked him or not, John McCain was a constant reminder of the dark and dreadful days of the Vietnam war. Suddenly they want us to think they actually cared for what he and others of us did there.
These are the same low-life bastards who avoided the draft and called us baby killers and spit on us when we returned home. They were the same people who forced us to hide our personal feelings to avoid the catcalls. They were the same ones who refused to give us an opportunity and the same ones who ridiculed us and insulted us when we tried to go back to college.
They want that flag up there at half-staff to make themselves feel good, not for the veterans of the war and countless other veterans of other wars and pestilence. The President they loved so well actually refused to attend the funeral of the only general officer killed in the line of duty after WWII.
So take your crocodile tears and your phony “patriotism” and shove it. I’ve seen your opening act and I know where your heartless soul resides.
Personal note: Thank you for your service George. And thanks too for the service of all those who have served in hot conflict. You have paid the price for the freedoms so many either take for granted, or worse, defile and denigrate.
