Donald Trump has said that John McCain is not a war hero. (Not because of an ideological position he held about the war in Vietnam and whether the United States should have been propping up the South Vietnamese regime, mind you. Had this criticism com from Bill Ayers, who would probably not have been mean-spirited enough to have said such a thing, I would have understood it.)
The criticism came because, although John McCain was acting in the line of duty as a naval aviator and was gravely injured-fracturing two legs and two arms when he ejected from his plane-and then spent five years in captivity in North Vietnam undergoing torture, this does not make him a hero in the eyes of Donald Trump.
Donald trump fills me with disgust on so many levels that I would find it hard to enumerate them. I just hope that the American people have enough wisdom left not to elect this shell of a human being.
