John McCain the prisoner of war, in Northern Vietnam 1967-1973
John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936) is the senior United States Senator from Arizona and presidential nominee of the Republican Party in the 2008 presidential election.

McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. He became a naval aviator, flying ground-attack aircraft from aircraft carriers. During the Vietnam War, he nearly lost his life in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. Later that year while on a bombing mission over North Vietnam, he was shot down, badly injured, and captured as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese. He was held from 1967 to 1973, experiencing episodes of torture and refusing an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer; his war wounds would leave him with lifelong physical limitations.

He retired from the Navy as a captain in 1981, moved to Arizona, and entered politics. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, he served two terms, and was then elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, winning re-election easily in 1992, 1998, and 2004. While generally adhering to conservative principles, McCain has gained a media reputation as a "maverick" for disagreeing with his party on several key issues. After being investigated and largely exonerated in a political influence scandal of the 1980s as a member of the "Keating Five," he made campaign finance reform one of his signature concerns, which eventually led to the passage of the McCain-Feingold Act in 2002. He is also known for his work towards restoring diplomatic relations with Vietnam in the 1990s, and for his belief that the war in Iraq should be fought to a successful conclusion in the 2000s. McCain has chaired the Senate Commerce Committee, has opposed pork barrel spending, and played a key role in alleviating a crisis over judicial nominations.

McCain lost his bid for the Republican nomination in the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush. He ran again for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, and gained enough delegates to become the party's presumptive nominee in March 2008. McCain was formally nominated at the 2008 Republican National Convention in September 2008, together with his chosen running mate from Alaska, Governor Sarah Palin.

Джон Сидни Маккейн III (англ. John Sidney McCain III; род. 29 августа 1936 на а/б ВВС США «Коко Соло») — сенатор США от штата Аризона с 1987. Член Республиканской партии c 1982. Основной кандидат от «республиканцев» на выборах президента США 2008 года.

Дед и отец Маккейна были адмиралами Военно-морского флота США. Джон Маккейн пошел по их стопам и в 1958 окончил Военно-морскую академию США, став летчиком палубной авиации. Ветеран Вьетнамской войны. Сбит над Ханоем в 1967, пробыл во вьетнамском плену 5 с половиной лет и был выпущен в 1973 по условиям Парижского соглашения.

В 1981 Маккейн ушел в отставку с военной службы, а в 1982 был избран в Палату представителей Конгресса США от Республиканской партии. В 1986 избран сенатором от Аризоны, переизбирался трижды — в 1992, 1998 и в 2004. В 2000 участвовал в выборах президента США, но проиграл Джорджу Бушу младшему на предварительных выборах. С февраля 2008 рассматривается как основной кандидат в президенты США от республиканцев, официальную поддержку Маккейну оказал Джордж Буш-младший

  • @johninves GET EM. I want to interview mccain and ask him some questions no american news team would ever have the balls to ask. Not because im crazy because the media is controlled by corporations who support candidates and wont air dirt on them. Fuck that traitor.

  • @gr8pimpin Its not so much what he did while serving as much as what he did in politics after. He stabed pows in the back and classified documents from the people their about forever.

  • Russia - is forward! Obama - our people! USA - the end!

  • Very true. He has changed drastically from what he was as a POW. You'd think that he would do the opposite, and try to help people lol.

  • When they found out he was the son of an Admiral, they offered to release him and he refused. Because there were others who had been prisoners longer. If you don't agree with his politics, fine, but bashing this man for serving his country is shameful.

  • He was given special treatment because he was the admirals's son. Look it up if you don't believe me.
