When & Who did McCain fight? He was an pilot who dropped bombs!?

Question

McCain didn't see hand to hand combat on Ground.He did fly byes! What do you think? Give opinion if you dare!

Answer 1

His plane was hit by a missile from his own aircraft and blew up because he was a hot dog. Coverup city where he killed his share of sailors. So, he didn't really have a whole lot of experience flying planes, but crashing them. The real skill of a pilot comes from AVOIDING being shot down while inflicting many enemy casualties. Whether or not he was tortured, we do know he confessed to war crimes and helped the VC with propaganda. That's why he doesn't mind others' children being drafted and killed. How many of you want to admit that?

Answer 2

McCain served in a warzone - facing enemy fire and enduring life as a POW.  It doesn't matter how many people he killed or how successful he was in the field of battle - the reason why we consider him a hero is because HE SERVED.

Where did Obama serve (other than on the board of the Annenburg trust with terrorist Bill Ayers)??

Answer 3

You Dems are so simple.  Stick to American Idol.

Answer 4

Can tell you have NEVER served this country.

After you give three or more years serving America; come back and ask this same question.

Answer 5

So what?  Do you think United States Pilots are weak or something?  You don't think their job is dangerous?  What an idiot you are.

Answer 6

You wouldn't have the intelligence to even pass flight school

Answer 7

NO, what made him a hero wasn't the fact that he was captured and tortured by the VC, what made him a hero was the fact that his dad was the theater commander and was set for early release by his captors because of it, he refused to be released without his fellow prisoners...

He "Crashed" three planes in training exercises, all due to mechanical failure, NOT pilot error, then he was struck by an errant missile which misfired on the deck of an aircraft carrier he barely escaped with his life, 154 good men died in that incident ( through no fault of John McCain's)

The wonder isn't that his commanders trusted hi with a combat aircraft to fly missions over Vietnam, the wonder is that this patriot had the Cajones to get back into a cockpit of planes which were built by the corrupt insider companies of the LBJ administration...

Answer 8

McCain is just traumatized with the war...he need therapy or something

Answer 9

His plane was hit by a missile on the flight deck. His plane was on fire and he had to crawl off the tip of the plane. He was then offered a desk job but chose to keep flying his plane. He was then shot down and tortured for five years. While he was in captivity he decided to be the biggest smart a** he could be. Yeah, I say that takes courage. What has Barack done?

EDIT: I have a feeling you would be one of those people shouting better red than dead, and I'd rather live on my knees than die on my feet. If you want to be that then fine, but don't put down the service of those who defended our country, OK? Add details if you dare!

EDIT: Go ahead, you dared us to give our opinion and we did. Now we are daring you to respond to us and you won't. What's up with that?

Answer 10

He was the pilot who crashed into walls and got captured

Answer 11

Gee.. you figured that out all by your self?.. Pilots in aircraft drop bombs... gee what a revelation! And, just to think, we get this great fount of knowledge for *free* on Y!A... we are blessed indeed

Answer 12

this type of un American post is just what I expect from obama-da-llama supporters, you hate America? you and llama move to a 3rd world country and set up a nice" Banana Republic" that is all you are qualifyed for. troll on.

Answer 13

Wow...you are unbelievably (I will say "not very smart" so as not to be offensive). My guess is that you have never served in the military in any capacity what-so-ever and never would without being forced. If you had then you would never even pretend to have such an opinion. Dude, you don't even know what you're saying.

Answer 14

He fought against Communism while Barrak Hussein Obama was embracing it from Frank Davis. I prefer people who fight against it rather than embrace it but then again I am a consevative who defended freedom and the American way so what do I know.

Answer 15

if you fly a plane in a military zone people shoot at you... try visiting a military museum. there are surface to air guns, missiles etc. even as a bomber enemy fighters can still shoot at you. even if you are just doing recon people shoot at you... no he didnt have his head in a bush, he was flying in some of the most advanced technology at the time. his training for as a pilot was much much more than that of a grunt...

Answer 16

You are a ******* idiot.  The guys in the planes are in just as much danger as the guys on the ground.  Get off the forums and go smoke a peace pipe, d**n hippie.  

Answer 17

Do doesn't matter if he didn't fight hand to hand you didn't.  He used a plane that is still a fight.

Answer 18

Are you for real? Were you there to see what happened? He fought the North Vietnam Army from his prison cell as they tortured him on a daily basis. Therefore he DID fight them hand to hand. He was protecting a soverign nation, which was overrun thanks to people like you that helped the NVA through your personal assault on our soldiers. Traitors. Even if you weren't around at that time, you're doing the same thing today by creating divisiveness in saying you support our troops, but they should cut and run like a bunch of pansies from those that want us dead. What's it gonna be?

Answer 19

IF i dare? FU2, hambone.

FYI: only 10% of most modern armies is actually Infantry (i.e., YOUR idea of hand-to-hand combat). The other 90% are feeding them, transporting them, paying them, serving perimeter patrols at bases, re-supplying them, etc. BTW, hand-to-hand rarely happens anyway: that's why they issue rifles that shoot 300 or 400 yards instead of up-close-and-personal Roman short-swords!!!

FYI: I spent a year in Vietnam working for 2 Assault Helicopter Companies, based on a tiny airfield in the Mekong Delta next to THE major Viet Cong recruiting/assembly/refuge area.. If you think that being under sniper fire, mortar fire, recoilless-rifle attack and human assaults doesn't qualify as 'hand-to-hand,' then you're mindlessly unaware of what combat really is.

McCain was a Navy pilot who flew fighter/bomber missions over North Vietnam. Pilots describe the NVA 'SAM's' (=surface-to-air missiles) as being the size of telephone poles, but packed with explosives and traveling at Mach 2. It takes balls of steel to remain "on-mission" under such circumstances. he did not turn tail and run, he did not chicken out. When he was shot down and captured, he had broken limbs and was tortured off and on for a few years, and spent 5 years in abysmal conditions.

Who the 'F' are YOU to impugn his honor or denigrate that experience? Obviously, someone who has spent -0- zip-zero experience in the military, much less a war zone. I will honor his service and devotion to his country, his comrades and his oath to serve.

BUT: all that having been said, I do NOT think that he's the right person to be president, and ESPECIALLY after having demonstrated poor decision-making by choosing Palin, merely to attract Fundamentalists and women voters.

Answer 20

Hey sport my uncle flew F-4s in Vietnam and told me many, many stories of dodging enemy fire.  Do you want to call him a wimp to his face?  BTW he's in his 60s now and I have no doubt he would have you begging for mercy in seconds.

Answer 21

Just what bravery has Nobama exhibited? LOL! Being a pilot in a war is extremely dangerous. Surviving five years of torture shows he has courage beyond anything we can expect from Nobama. McCain fought for his life every day for five years.

By the way, unless you have been a pilot in a war, you have no opinion. Just the usual liberal spew.

Answer 22

yO MaMa

yO MAMA SO FAT SHE SIT AROUND DA HOUSE

OOO DIS

Answer 23

Listen fecacephalus;  when a military jet-jock goes to work, he  gets into a huge heavy piece of equipment which flies mainly by dint of  being thrust forward by hugely powerful engines---at  rates of speed similar to those of projectiles from  guns.  Just this very  state-of-being is

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.  

Those airframes also tend to be rather unstable compared to something like  a Cessna or the passenger airliners you feel nice and safe getting on and flying around safely (because military jet-jocks rule the skies through which you fly so securely) because they have

to be in order to make them maneuverable  so as to be able to

avoid adversaries flying other similarly unstable  manned weapons delivery systems.  These people operate in a physical  stress environment which is  on the edge of the endurance of physically exceptional  human parameters.



Even if you're only in the Air National

Guard, if you've strapped one of these things  on and shot down  that

runway--or worse, been  slung off the deck of a  ship by a steam-powered

catapult!--you have  served your nation heroically.

You're now welcome to go sit in the corner and l**k your

wrist and whimper, you ignorant ingrate.
