    McCain served in war and engaged in active combat with the enemy. That was very admirable.

    But in the end he became just another corrupt Washington politician. Most Americans do not like crooked pols or feel that they should be above criticism.

    Are you really a McCain fan? Then why not answer my question - why was he awarded his medals - he had a chest full of them?

    Tell the story of his heroism.

    McCain attacked me and every other conservative republican who refused to give illegal aliens amnesty

    But I can overlook that or at least balance it with his military service

    McCain however tried to destroy the trump presidency and I dont forgive him for that

    And neither does trump

    I personally think he was. He was a volunteer and he engaged in very intense combat with the enemy. But it usually requires more than that to receive a medal for heroism from the military. I assume that he did receive such medals. Am I wrong about that?

    I gave you an opportunity present the record of his heroism and you refuse to do that.
    An odd decision for such an active defender of McCains reputation.

    That is an important medal for valor in combat. You should paste up the description of what he did to receive it.
    Those descriptions are usually very impressive.

    Instead of answering my question and pasting up the record of McCain's valor in combat against the enemy you choose to attack me personally?
    What an odd choice.

    I think the people of Arizona might not agree with you since he was re-elected time and time again.

    There should be an official description of his heroism that accompanied the award of the medal. You should share it with us.

    Instead of recognizing the heroism of McCain you choose to ignore it because google is such a foreign concept to you.

    What an odd choice?

    Vegas, you are the defender of McCains reputation and courage in combat. I despised McCain as a repulsive crooked Republican pol.

    Why should I do your job for you? Present the record and I will applaud it with you.
    Is there a problem with the official description of McCain's heroism that you prefer not to reveal?
