article comparing same time period..Trump / McCaine

[deziloooooo]

I found it some what interesting...especially due to Trumps idea of what does and doesn't constitute a hero in his eyes...Actually Trumps values ...though his wealth is impressive ...fall short for me but that is me..for others..possible not , even something to be admired..what makes the world go around I guess...

Trump was right with one tiny part of his statement: McCain was not a hero because he was captured. But Trump being correct stops right there.  McCain is a war hero because of his valor!  Note that I am by no means someone that would be described as a Hawk and I still don't think that the Vietnam war was the right war for the west to be involved in, but that does not change or diminish McCain's heroism.

Trump is just a pompous ass who thinks that being rich and able to buy your way out of danger (going to Vietna would have been dangerous --- and it would have lacked the ambiance he liked so much) makes you a great person and leader. Whatever...
