GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
www.goodmorningamerica.com/
Defending his opponent made him not just a bigger politician but a human being
@@taicam7358 ruclips.net/video/JIjenjANqAk/видео.html
@@taicam7358 Um, it's fact.
We really didn't care back then because that was expected of a politician. Now that we had Trump, even being able to string a sentence together without using "fake news" "alternate facts" "what about them" "why don't you ask *Insert someone else's name*" gets you nominated for a noble peace prize.
Look up the 134 people he killed on the USS Forrestal.
IT MADE US REALIZE, THE FIX WAS IN FOR THE KENYAN TO WIN.
wow, didn't know he was so good looking when he was younger
Another casualty of Agent Orange brain cancer not the first not the last either. I'm next betrayed by Americathe highrarcyyarcy
really pure garbage
lang 1007 agreed what a good looking man
Oh yes I’ve thought ever since I saw that Top Gun-ish photo of him as the young pilot in front of his plane... a hottie!!!! Aging sucks lol
People usually look better when they are younger. 😁👍
It really doesn't matter where you come from or how poor or rich you where while growing up, what truly matters in life is standing for what's right when the time calls for it! And John McCain did that more than once what an amazing human being! RIP John McCain!🙏🙏
Respect for standing up for Obama Rip
@FPS Russia you're a blind sheep if you listen to a lady who thinks Kenyans are Arabs
Order11110 what drugs are you on?
Obama is evil
@@sourpqnda4672 Obama WAS a Muslim. He grew up INDONESIA - the largest Muslim cpountry in the world and both fathers - real (Kenyan) and step (Indonesian) - were MUSLIMS. You obviously don;tknow much about Barack HUSSEIN Obama, do ya?
💯🇺🇲
May his soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.
right on amigo
@ok W he’s not in hell, but you’re gonna go to hell, where you belong. I’m sure there is a place there with your name on it.
@ok W be quiet he's a war hero who was tortured
@itsaclownworld 4 how is he a war criminal
Sorry but he is not
His son is a hero too he rescued all Afghan pilot and their family from the hands of taliban after the falling of Kabul,Afghanistan I’m one of the pilot’s’ family member
Thank you maccains family
With such an honorable Man as a Father, his Son must truly be a great Man as well. Amazing Story you telled us.
I knew In 2008 he was a true patriot. After watching this I question how someone could not vote for this man. He was one of the few politicians that would openly reach across the isle. A true gem of our country
I DID NOT VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN NOR DID i VOTE FOR THE KENYAN IN 2008. I JUST DIDN'T VOTE AT ALL. NEITHER WERE WORTH MY VOTE.
He was NOT a patriot but you ARE a loser - like globalist Johnny, the captured coward "un-heroic" loser, was.
@@91dodgespiritrt yeah he got captured but he was even smarter to be able to get out
@@91dodgespiritrt you, sir, learned nothing

Yeah Sure!

BOO BOO RINO JOHN McCAIN THE "FREE-TRAITOR"!
This is what a hero looks like.
This guy was a real hero
A patriotic American soldier till his last breath. RIP.
HE was a Navy Officer and not a soldier
He's so handsome until the day he died RIP our hero !!
RIP - you SOB. Spent 35 years building a myth. NEVER a hero.
I prefer heroes who aren't incompetent songbird war criminals.
Anonymous Coward war criminals.....? He was a POW. You know nothing.
@Order11110 Bro what?
@susan ferrie McNasty was a rude guy himself. But if that was his biggest problem, he wouldn't be roasting in heck atm... which he surely is.

McCain was DRAFTED. He didn't have a choice.
--refused to use his Admiral's son status to be released as POW
--defended and praised his political opponent
--cast an unpopular vote against his Party's will, jeopardizing his career
--explained "I do not serve the Republican Party. I serve the people of Arizona."

Don't confuse me as a Patriot.
America is a failing empire. And Empires deserve to fail.
You will never find a better man!!!
I really wish he became president.
Sat semi close to him at an MLB Dbacks base game 2014 in Phoenix. Nervous to approach, to not interrupt him . Both He and his wife had about 4 stadium security, not police. Mid 7th stretch. Finally I thought, maybe...I truly had been researching Vietnam for community college. I'm no journalist, Told him that. He told me to take a seat, and we talked about it 3-4 minutes until his wife was back, after a restroom visit. I knew to get up, but he thanked ME for my interest in learning about the war, because it carried on the memory of those who died by having class in school...He shook my hand, took pic w me on my Iphone from one of the security guys. Great life moment for me. I still have the photo.
Wow! Thanks for sharing that. What a great moment in time.
One of the few republicans I actually respect. RIP sir.
I hope he is burning in hell
@@flores92manuel Agreed. The guy who bombed innocents in Vietnam, the guy who voted to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. Fuck John McCain!
R.I.P John 😢😢😢 🙏
HM P Couldn't agree more.
He was a RINO.
This is crazy I had no idea he was held in captivity !
should have stayed there

I know its difficult but this guy is an example of “what we do in live echoes in etirnity”
Lekker ge-engelst, baasie.
WOW, POW for 5 years - amazing! RIP!
not enough
Gianni Rocky Then why don’t we force YOU to live five years in McCain’s conditions?
Hazmat Squad More
Omg please make his wish come true.... this country needs to be United, not divided
That’s the exact opposite from what our current president has done
What a great man he was
A true hero
He was a very fine, decent, and honorable man not to mention a true hero. May he rest in peace and be remembered well.
Carol McCain, his ex-wife, surpassed his lifespan on 2/16/2020.
NO BIG LOSS
Obama's eulogy to this masterpiece of a human being also made me weep. McCaine was such an inspirational American and it's clear he understood that America's greatest strength is that We Are a Civil Society. A human life is so short, it is a miracle I got to be here while he was.
As a Chinese, Senator John McCain is what a respectable,not just as a politician but as an American would be like.
One word. Hero. Add one. Legacy.
What does not kill you makes you stronger.
1:45 bad ass moment
Only to a pansy democrap.
One of the people I did not dully appreciate when he was alive. Thanks you John McCain. You were a man of honor, decency , and intgrety. I miss you.
What a handsome guy!
We need politician like him in France.
You were very lucky to have a politician like John McCain. History will remember him as a honorable human being and a great lawmaker.
What an amazing man, so selfless and his love for our beautiful country had no boundaries, he did what was right. He will always be remembered for his service and being a war hero. R.I.P
"CAPTURED"
BULLSHIT
your slime is slippery
Senator/Commander Mc Cain was a great and honorable man.. RIP.. You will be missed...I thank you for what you did to get these VA Hospitals in order.. You always supported Veterans and Servicemen...God Bless You...
Can we just take a moment and admire how HOT he was when he was younger? RIP 💜
All piles of shit start out steamy and hot.
Yes he was very handsome. It’s no wonder he could catch a beautiful 25 year old in Hawaii.
Sorry America, McCain Was No Hero, Here’s a List of Wars He Begged For That Proves It
Washington (GPA) - Earlier this week notorious war hawk US Senator John McCain (R-Az) died from brain cancer. While the liberal and conservative establishments are sending their regards, Geopolitics Alert instead compiled a list of reasons why we don’t care about McCain.
The list is, of course, a history of all the instances McCain has called for US-led intervention around the world. There’s clearly a long history here, so Geopolitics Alert has compiled the most blatant examples from Europe to Asia. We’ll start with the obvious wars first.
Afghanistan and Iraq
Obviously, every US Senator (besides California’s Barbara Lee) voted to give President George W. Bush the power to invade Afghanistan following the events of September 11th. However, McCain wasn’t happy with just moving to invade Afghanistan. No, he had other targets on his mind as early as the day after the towers fell.
Despite McCain’s claim in 2014 that “the Iraq war probably wouldn’t have happened” if he had won the 2000 Republican primary and the general election, this assertion seems ridiculous. On September 12th, 2001, McCain appeared on MSNBC presenting an extensive list of countries he felt were providing a “safe harbor” to groups like al Qaeda. This list, of course, included Iraq and several other nations that appear later on this list.
Syria
Another country on that 2001 list (of course) was Syria. Now, the Bush regime may have never gotten a chance to continue toppling Mideast countries (thanks to the failure in Iraq and the exposure of that war being sold on lies). But McCain seemingly never lost sight of his hatred for Bashar Al-Assad.
Shortly after the Arab Spring “broke out” in Syria, McCain - and his constant partner in war crimes Sen. Lindsey Graham - quickly found communication channels with the “Syrian opposition.” Just a few short months after the US endorsed protests in Syria (even having their ambassador attend), McCain and Graham began calling for arms to start flowing to the Free Syrian Army and other “rebel” groups.
Libya
McCain’s plans for Syria never quite worked the way he wanted, but he probably should’ve known they would never yield a positive result. If McCain didn’t want to look at Iraq to prove that point, he had another more recent example he could’ve used: the NATO intervention in Libya.
It was less than a year before McCain wanted to arm Syrian takfiris that he had supported with the bombing and no-fly zones in Libya. McCain even wanted tougher actions against the country. Which has now become an anarchic Wild West that’s home to all sorts of horrors from the Islamic State to a new slave trade.
West and Central Africa
McCain is also a champion of the “war on terror” in other parts of Africa. While McCain hasn’t directly supported terrorists in some countries in Africa, he still has called for more US intervention across the continent.
This list includes countries dealing with Islamic insurgencies, such as Mali. McCain has also called for plans like “deploying Special Forces” to rescue girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria and intervention in Sudan, where McCain and his wife have invested money for some time.
Iran
Another country on the list of hated nations initially put forth by Bush undersecretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz, and also another longtime target of McCain is, of course, Iran.
Although McCain has always said “he prays” there will never be a war with Iran, the man incessantly calls for it and even jokes about bombing the country when he feels the mood is right. The truth of the matter is, McCain’s positions towards Iran are so hostile that even flagship neoconservative institutions like the Cato Institute think he is too hawkish.
Bosnia and Kosovo
But McCain isn’t satisfied with just backing Salafi jihadists in the traditional Middle East and North African theaters. He’s also backed violent radicals across the fringes of Europe. This trend actually started in the mid-1990’s when McCain was a vocal supporter of then-president Bill Clinton’s war in Bosnia.
Many Muslims traveling to Bosnia joining the mujahideen there have since joined groups like IS in recent years. And IS flags can occasionally be seen in the Sunni areas of Bosnia now. McCain was still backing potential Takfiri movements, recently accusing Russia of interfering in local affairs, and calling for more US intervention in the country.
McCain made similar decisions when he advocated US intervention in Kosovo in the late 90’s. In the Kosovo conflict, McCain backed the Kosovo Liberation Army: a genocidal jihadist organization with ties to Al Qaeda under Osama Bin Laden.
Ukraine
Don’t be fooled into thinking that McCain only supports jihadists in Eastern Europe! He also backs the overt Nazis acting as death squads for Kiev in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict.
This, of course, started in 2014, but McCain has continued to pledge support for Kiev’s crimes in the Donbass region to this day. This is all par for the course in McCain’s larger theme of challenging Russia- the country he believes controls the separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Russia
The story of McCain’s hatred of Russia spans back to the Cold War. We won’t get into McCain’s fear of communism that’s evolved into just general Russophobia. But we will say he didn’t have many excuses to focus on making threats towards Moscow for a good 15-20 year stretch.
This changed in 2008, with the war in South Ossetia between Georgia and Russia. During this conflict, McCain was the loudest voice saying the US “should immediately call a meeting of the North Atlantic Council to assess Georgia’s security and review measures NATO can take to contribute to stabilizing this very dangerous situation.”
This same situation repeated in Ukraine in 2014 but McCain’s worst comments came this year. As soon as the US Intelligence Community’s accused Russia of interference in the 2016 US elections- and without any evidence- McCain was first to say the event was an “act of war.”
North Korea
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DRPK/North Korea) was also an early target of McCain’s making his September 12th wish list. More recently though, the restyled “Trump opponent” McCain was all-in on the new regime’s saber rattling. Calling on Trump to strike the nuclear-armed country.
Bonus: China
China is kind of in its own class with McCain, who’s made strange, vague threats towards the country in the past. Such as “the Arab spring is coming to China,” whatever that means. China may be a target on the periphery for McCain, but he does still encourage antagonizing the country to this day. Calling for things like more “freedom of navigation drills” and other naval exercises in the South China Sea.
So, in summation, next time someone asks why you don’t care about John McCain’s clock running out, show them this article. McCain has encouraged the spread of death worldwide. The day he leaves Congress will be a victory for the human race.
The fact that my penis is small does not get me angry. But the thought of someone named Eileen thinking about it does.
You gay and are you ugly?
Wow what a great hero. His legacy will be remembered by the world. May his soul RIP.
While I didn't like McCain's politics, I respected John S. McCain III as a Vietnam brother of mine. He was a true patriot and had a tremendous career in politics. One of the ships I served on during and then after the Vietnam War was the guided missile destroyer, USS John S. McCain DDG-36, which was converted from DL-3. The ship was named for his grandfather. The newer USS John S. McCain DDG-56, Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, is named for his grandfather, his father and himself.
A person to admire. Always enjoyed his contributions to society.
Rest in Peace , Great Man that served his country in every possible way he could.

How a person is? is decided when he leaves this world. When the whole world and country is talking about this one man, that itself speaks about his life. Sir, you have made positive dents, now the everyone is talking about you! RIP
The real legacy: Millions of families in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Syria, eastern and southern Ukraine, Yemen and elsewhere are not mourning McCain's death. They have their own family members to mourn - courtesy of McCain.
ISIS is flying their flags half staff when they heard of McCain's cowardly suicide.
ISIS is mourning the loss of their great leader.
Fernando we used to call your pitches throwing the bean burrito back in the day anyway shut the fuck up stupid little bitch . Oh yeah who gives a fuck about those stupid country's or your opinion.
I disagree with most of his politics, but the Proud Veteran in me has great respect for this man.
Barry White Barry tell me your war stories. Please regale us with your tales of heroism under fire! Don’t worry...I’ll wait.
McCain's own fellow veterans hate him. Google it.
Exactly!! And one fellow even stated Mccain's arms were broken by his ejecting first and foremost. I wish all vets would take a good hard look at how much money he DENIED to go towards health care and raises, and opening new clinics....to help the vets. Go read please. He voted NO on every single one except tiny one, not worth much. I too lauded him until I looked into his voting record!! And to see this PHOTO FEST FROM CINDY AND MEGHAN to boot, for the press, ......good grief. Get a grip. The pauses, the poses, and the pomp.
@@fernandovalenzuela9953 I am a Vietnam vet. Gulf of Tonkin 1972. USS Saratoga CVA 60. So tell me why I should hate him.
Rest in peace mr McCain
WE WILL MISS YOU BELOVED SIR
Im sorry but what do you expect when you invade another country and literally drop bombs on them however I have a great deal of respect for this man as he helped release political prisoners in the middle east
My god...have I never been so wrong with someone I have never met. Sorry, thank you, and RIP.
Happy birthday 🎈 and rest of peace also you are America hero

Homeboy was fine
This is probably inappropriate but John McCain was very sexy as a young man! He was such a great man he deserves all the honors he is getting! RIP sir
So Handsome. Beautiful ❤️ Great service..
I took pictures next to a plane like that in Hanoi. The people of the world are very proud of the Vietnamese people. You did well.
they really love you from the bottom of the pit
"volunteered to drop bombs in Vietnam" what a nice guy...
Dropping bomb from thousands of feet away is hardly a military achievement compared to Huey helicopter pilots and ground forces busting their butts and racking up purple hearts and MEDAL OF HONOR. McCunt didnt have one boo hoo.
I feel so bad for all these people who are brainwashed into thinking that bombing another country is okay.
As a vietnamese tbh i never call a volunteer who is going to drop bombs on my head is a nice guy Xd
democrat?
He was handsome.

Bless tht guy
This man was an Aviator who was the only congressman to defended the service of the A 10 warthog for years. With him gone so to is the A 10. You both will be missed.
USAF doesn't need it, and keeping the airframe active means keeping the training & maint pipelines running, costing money. This isn't the first time he forced a service to retain an obsolete weapon system because "mug big guns" is easier to understand than technology. Ask the Navy about that.
@@JENKEM1000 you do understand that the USAF is thinking about putting props back in action. Just because it's obsolete doesn't mean it doesn't work. If you look a the 1911 and M3 Grease Gun which were was still in action In Desert Storm, it worked and people used them. The cost of keeping the A 10 would be cheaper than replacing it with the F35, which doesn't even work. Countries like Australia and the UK have bought the F35 and reported that the couldn't even get of the ground. To many control failures and system breakdowns.
@@JENKEM1000 Show me one plane that can match it
He will be remembered as "wet-start, song-bird" John.
Song bird 🦅 crashed planes 4 times and graduated near the bottom of his class.
He is not a hero and covered up the POW deaths.
Must be Pretty heroic the scenery from the bottom of your couch. JM had more here in his pinkie than y
the birds love you now don't forget to fart
song bird welcome birds to the hotel
He set off a major fire on aircraft carrier by dumping fuel into his jet engine
McCunt got into the navy because of being an Admiral son, rather than by his own merit. Classic nepotism.
@@diegosilang4823 Yeah. He graduated #894 in a graduating class of #898
ABC That is BULL SHIT
i like war heros who were not captured.
Did you not see the video explain after his plane was hit by a missile, he had to eject. He landed breaking both arms n a leg...so, how was he expected to avoid capture?
Wow.. Salt of the earth.
Everyone who dislikes this has no soul
@A M unlike John McCain half of his brain is a tumor 😂
Quite the contrary.
JOHN McCain is the reason so many POWs were left in Vietnam.
graycloud057 please elaborate
Get the fuck back to your Siberian hut you Russian troll
@@Redheadlaughs look up the committee he chaired when the families of the missing tried to get the records release. He made sure to seal them forever. There was so much information on his crap until he died. He went above and beyond trying to convince America that a walking K neat a pow camp picked up by a satellite was anything but put there by an American. This is even on an episode of" What on Earth"
@@teresathompson3758 Total bull shit. ALL records are sealed. Except to the person they cover. And people needing to know. Learn the truth before you spread lies. If a family member needs them. All they have to do. Is show proof they are related.Learn the truth before you spread bull shit.
Yang will try and fulfill your wish Senator McCain, not left or right, but together...and forward! Rest In Peace...Thank you for your spirit and service! God Bless! #HumanityFirst
and yang will be as much as a disaster as mccain was Way to go,lmao!
Thank you john. Rip
No
A true America hero who will be greatly missed. May God comfort his family.
He's no hero. It didn't take much brains to turn down the "get out of jail" card...as he's smart enough to know his future political career as a "hero" would be tarnished forever. By the time he got the offer from the North Vietnamese, his treatment had vastly improved anyway. And the word is out that a lot of the POW's who were there couldn't stand him.
seems like he was a pretty great guy all the way around
He had every reason to be as proud of himself and same with us of him even when Obama surprised 😯 too only regret it Sen McCain himself didn’t best him for president in 2008 or run again and be president RIP 2018 salute
he should have standed at the famous hanoi hilton with the birds
He was certainly a looker when he was younger. He was a good man too, let's not ever forget that.
As a centrist, I respect McCain as he stood his ground on certain issues despite what even his own party might have felt. He truly lived up to his appellation as a maverick. Original Top Gun!
He wasn't a centrist - he was an opportunist and a traitor to his party and his country by selling out to globalism.
He was honorable🙏, Rest In Peace sir....
ONLY IN YOUR LIMITED WORLD OF LOSERS.
Im not from US, i didnt know he he was a hero literally
what hero are you joking
He made differences, doesn't matter if you liked him or didn't.... you can never say he didn't stick to his guns 💪......
The real reason why Arizona is still a Republic in a diverse minority state. This goes to show how much support native americans gave to him.
