War Hero John McCain Goes Downtown

"It doesn't take too much talent, I intercepted a missle with my own airplane". Salute to McCain, and everyone else who sacrificed for freedom then and now. BTW, I'm supporting him for president, and it seems the only people who hate him are the fundamentalist republicans.

These are shots from Operation Rolling Thunder, which most of history records as a failure, and Linebacker, which pretty much forced Hanoi to the negotiating table, and set the stage for the US abandoning South Vietnam without further air support. Air power pretty much made the difference between success and defeat, and when it was gone, it was defeat.

ed sullivan show.

Did you have to ruin an otherwise excellent video with a photo of traitor red kunt Hanoi Jane?

The only place I tolerated to see her face was in those famous "Hanoi Jane Urinal Stickers" that adorned our squadron restrooms when I was in the Air Force.

[biukucanoe]

Well I stuck her with the North Vietnamese pilots....

If L.B.J. & McNamara would of had any pair of balls, the U.S. A.F. and Navy would of bombed all the dikes & dams in order to starve the N.Vietnamese to death. This war could of ended in 1965 or 1966. But NO!............All those dead Americans for NOTHING.

[biukucanoe]

Not completely for naught, most modern tactics for US forces were worked out based everything that went wrong in Nam. Wild Weasel, strike packages, teen-series fighters, smart bombs... And we get Obama??

Folks...Please do some research. John was one of the worst students in the history of the Academy and would not have been admitted had his dad not been an admiral. He was a very bad pilot ( crashed 4 planes) He cracked and gave classified intel to the enemy IN HIS FIRST WEEK OF CAPTURE! Yet, he is somehow able to sell himself as a "war hero". Plus: He cheated on his first wife He called this wife a cunt (in public) Learn about the REAL John McCain Please!

[biukucanoe]

His father and grandfather also did poorly in the academy, both were admirals. At least he doesn't deeply hate American like Obama.

[blormp1]

excellent version of downtown...what show is the performance from?

[exenrontexas]

JFK, as a US Congressman, visited Vietnam in '51. He was told by a US embassy expert that the French were going to lose the war to recolonized IndoChina and if America entered Vietnam we would lose that war too because the Vietnamese were fighting colonialism. Unfortunately America chose not to support democracy after WWII but instead supported the French and the many corrupt dictators around the world. In a sense, we force Ho to turn to the Commies. Just imagine the difference in the world.

no blood for oil, close gitmo, stop targeted killings with drones, end patriot act ,bring all troops home, no CIA torture aka rendition, no force without congressional approval, no more military tribunals and my personal fav no more regime change .Obama voters hows it working out for ya. Mccain could've been a great pres because he went DOWNTOWN

[zipacna1980]

10x God he is not a President.

He could started a nuclear war and thought he has to evade a counterstrike this way.
