Did McCain actually hurt his arms by patting himself on the back so much?

Question

He never stops reminding us of his POW status and talking about what a "maverick" he is.

Answer 1

his arms were broken during the crash and not set properly...

i respect him for what he went through as a pow.. what i don't respect is how he treated the mia/pow families after that...

take a look at this link for explanation of his part in the Enormous Crime...  http://leboutillier.blogspot.com/

here is a bit of it..  

   "To keep it simple: McCain and others on the US Senate Select Committee on POWs in 1991-1992 deliberately, willfully and knowingly hid, destroyed, altered, photo-shopped, distorted, denied and lied about concrete evidence brought to them from the DIA, the CIA and other USG intelligence agencies. This evidence showed that US POWs - at that very time in 1992 - 19 years after McCain and his group of POWs came home - were still laying down their names and Escape and Evasion codes in rice paddies and trails and fields adjacent to their prisons. These authenticator codes - unique to each US airman shot down (similar to a bank PIN code) - featured a combination of letters and numbers."

one of his temper tantrums was against a woman who fought for these families.. he was some pissed off at her questions as to why the US stopped looking for mia's.  you can find the video of it on youtube.  

Answer 2

McCain was a POW?  Pray tell, what is his story?!  

Here's my question, if he was such a great Commander, why did he leave the navy after it was apparent he wasn't going to make Admiral.  I mean, yes, that level in the military is political (though not nearly as so with at the 3 or 4 star level), but he had the connections.  I mean his dad was a famous Admiral.

I left the military after 4 years as an officer because I couldn't stand the work, but this guy left because he wasn't going to make it to the next level.  After seeing which Brigade commanders get selected for General and which don't, the reasons they don't make it are: 1) they've made no connections and 2) they had an unsuccessful Command.

Basically, McCain had the connections so he must have done nothing noteworthy as a commander.

Answer 3

no he hurt his arms while fighting for you and our country.

Answer 4

Funny how "service to country" is now so important and yet they were trashing a decorated Vietnam War Hero like John Kerry, isn't it?

It's disgusting.

Answer 5

And he shouldn't stop either.
