I remember my dad talking about McCain. He was the only politician about whom my dad ever care to voice his opinion. I was told the stories of his service, his capture, torture and release. I knew he was a hero before I was old enough to really understand what it meant to be a hero. He will be greatly missed.
The incredible thing about John McCain was, despite the torture he went through as a POW, he never let it define him. He was so humble. He didn’t go on and on about it nor try to use it as a tool to garner sympathy or to get ahead politically. A true hero.
Yesterday John McCain, an American patriot, after dedicating his life to carrying the flag for this country, posted that flag in the ground, sat leaning against it, and took his last rest.
John, I disliked a great deal of what you did, but you are a hero. Rest in eternal peace. - Marc Sarcutus
The outpouring of appreciation for John speaks to how much he gave. Nobody will attend Trumps funeral one day. That also tells all.
Bro you really went there, Trump and Mitch McConnell will go down in history as evil, when we talk about them in 50 or so years.
@John Ng - I say this neither in support or criticism of Trump. A lot of politicians won’t be there. But a mass of everyday people (Trump supporters) will be.
It’s so nice to see people on both sides give their respect.

John McCain = War Criminal + Traitor + Zionist + Liar
The Libtards and the NeoCons?
Exactly how is he a war criminal? Didn't you vote for him in 2008?
I hope that his colleagues in Congress today can learn from the example of this good, brave, and honorable man. While I didn't vote for him, I've always respected him. RIP Senator McCain. Heartfelt condolences to his family.
He knew what enemies could do to the ppl that get left behind. That's still true today.
I find it immensely interesting that Americans are reverting back to displaying such high levels of integrity, respect and honor in how they mark the passing of McCain. We haven't seen anything like that since the advent of President Trump, who of course was golfing during the main ceremony.
Millions of people would be with out healthcare if its not Senator John McCain. He did it when it’s so unpopular with his base. (Courage).
Thank you senator.
PRECISELY!
Well healthcare still sucks and thank god the mandate is gone ! The federal government has no place in private health-care !! So what is going to happen this year when Obamacare actually sinks? He simply postponed the inevitable !!
@@tammywines9771Really it sank? Look now 5 years later and it is more popular than ever. Without it, so many would not be covered. Also most would have lost coverage because of a prior condition. You are wrong, more are signed up now and thank goodness that John McCain did not allow the Rump to replace it with nothing! Oh yes, Trump said that in two weeks he would introduce a better and cheaper replacement. It was all a lie, like most of what Trump says.
Thank you, sir, for your service to the free world!
Thank you for your service to the United States of America, John McCain! May you rest in peace.

Thank you for your service to the United States of America, John McCain's Brain Tumor. Mission Accomplished! ISIS flags are flying at half mast today.

Itlooks like you believe in another conspiracy theory, the whole McCain ISIS thing. Don't respond back with your alternative facks, I'm quite familiar with the topic. Your gullibility could pose a problem for you. I suspect your negative comments are influence by your blind faith in your cult leader. Trump lacks integrity, something McCain had in abundance.
@@54321Truth no Marine would ever say that about another person who had served in the military....this much I know. Family full of Marine's.....lie caught.

A truly Great American. Always spoke truth2power. Courageous and fair. America is diminished. Sad day.
I really appreciated Mr. John McCain he is a hero in my eyes and my heart is sad that he is gone I love Megan also she is so strong just like her dad
R.I.P. Senator McCain, American Hero and the last Republican.
Which golf course will cadet bone spurs play at during Mr McCain’s funeral.
One might disagree with john, but he commanded respect. The Orange one has no class, face it Americans made a BIG MISTAKE last Election,....."I Think" (Russian)?

McCain , in character to the end. Was a bitter, vindictive, self-serving, petulant old man and now, by publicly dis-inviting President Trump to his funeral. He was obsessed with jealousy for Trump winning something he felt he deserved!
McCain's true colors are on display for all to see. I'm sure President Trump had important shxt to do in the McCain funeral time slot anyway. No loss...
GTFO with that nonsense. "Self serving" - The man literally turned down a free ticket home from the Hanoi Hilton, while at Death's Door, so he could remain with his fellow service men and women. You have no idea what you're babbling about.
What an uninformed, disrespectful, and disgusting comment. I sincerely hope you're just trolling and not a complete scumbag in reality.
The old white generation want work and the old style American, but the problem is the new people work for lower ? money or are stronger to do the hand work? Lot of other reason Trump was choosen, of course Hilary does do the same as Trump building up defense industry and working for the large companies.

Hello from BC, Canada...Great story. A change is gonna come...
I'm Joe Biden: I'm a Democrat and I love John McCain The most powerful sentence I have heard so far.
John McCain a true Republican and a patriot. RIP. Arizona voted for Biden, it honours John Mccain while he was watching over his good friend Joe Biden
Well done, good and faithful servant. You are a special hero for our family. Rest in the Lord, at Home.
He is in hell! The man was not a Christian therefore ,hell awaits!
I pray for all the innocent men women and children who were killed in all the wars that he championed.
Cynthia Hawkins put aside your EMOTIONS and FEELINGS. enough of this real life coward, and traitor!.“Song Bird McCain”
Americans, have respect for the dead.
I hope you can ignore the communist trolls responding to your very kind words. Btw TROLLS, Christians are supposed tolerant and un judgmental
Unlike most, this man served and suffered for the USA. He made his mistakes and was quick to admit them. He disagreed without being disagreeable. He stood up for his country and the men and women in uniform that serve it. He defended the honor of those he competed against instead of using race, class or creed to divide the simple minded. He was quick to congratulate others when he lost and even quicker to reach across the aisle. He achieve what most sorry folk would never be able to without whipping up enmity, bringing up sentiments or catering to the crazies. He was a REAL SUCCESS, teaching us all how to rise and keep moving after a fall. The party he left behind, the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower is now largely made up of those who jeer at athletes for kneeling but insult military heroes who did not dodge the draft but gave so much, some even their lives in the fight for freedom. Luckily for McCain, the present political situation in the US makes it even easier for us to see how much of a giant he was for maintaining the high standards of the American right- dignity, integrity, courage, honor and service. To see how low his party has sunk is to see how high McCain's legacy will continue to soar. May he rest in peace and may his family find solace quickly.
Yes, he was a loyal warmonger globalist .

His passing will be mourned.” Not by the millions of us who voted for President Trump, WE will never forget the numerous times McShame back-stabbed us. McCain was a petty, jealous little man, who sold his soul for gold....the Keating Five.
He was a crook and resented deeply Trump, who came out of nowhere to win the office McCain felt entitled to win for decades. He was obsessed with jealousy for losing to someone he felt didn't deserve the position and backstabbed him every step of the way!
My flag will stay at full staff. My God has mercy on his soul, we won’t miss him.
@@jeanjones1846 you're a delusional fool, you've been conned by a New York conman.. I pity gullible fools like you.. Trump's slitting your throat and you're cheering him on. Talk about petty and vindictive, that's you and your Orange Gibbon idol and his multiple trophy wives, if anyone is going to Hell it's Trump the pathologic liar and morons like you..
Really miss Senator Mr McCain . He is and will be always my true Hero until my last breath. Thank you Mr Senator for your Service and your dedication. RIP Sir
He is the Last Republican to put country before Trump. RIP
smash50 my he rot in hell,another globalist dirt bag bites the dust ,lets party
Thanks for your comment. May your hateful demeanor and lack of civility generate the Karma you deserve.
You're right, he did put country before Trump.
But that country was Israel, not America.
The only thing the RINO did for this Country, was occupy a seat in The CONGRES all these years , stealing the Tax payers dollar and living the life of a hidden Traitor to the brave men and women of our nation. Yes, May God Send him straight to Hell where he belongs. A-MEN
Tom Scott, Trump was never in Congress but you're right about the rest.
An opponent to respect.
The only spine the republican party had. Always respected the man even when I didn't agree. He was a giant in the senate for all my adult life. Rip
Chris Howard A giant just like murderer Teddy Kennedy. What is wrong with you people?
@@Txman1996 stating fact. Not many have careers like he did. Reguardless of his record or the fact that he was a war monger.
Chris Howard
Really? Is this all you have to bring to this conversation? There was nothing at all politically correct about that statement.McCain sold his soul for gold....the Keating Five. He was a crook and resents deeply Trump, who came out of nowhere to win the office McCain felt entitled to win for decades. He's headed to the grave with a dark bitter heart. Wow! What a way to go out.... My God have mercy on his soul.
Erik Marcinik
Yes, it's unfair to compare McCain to Trump. It's like the NE Patriots taking on a jv highscool football team. Besides, it would be a crime to even try and compare them. If you we wanted to compare McCain to a senator and presidential contender, Bob Dole would be much fairer. He also served his country. Both men had more integrity, honesty and patriosm in the nail of their little toe than Trump has in his whole body.
@@gtZerote To Damn bad McCain never stood up to help the working man !! But keep living the war monger. I thought you liberals hated war? Lmao each of you are so transparent a child can see what your doing lol the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Acting out like 13 year old mean girls . Sitting back reading your comments is very good entertainment though. The sad thing is he played each of you and he loves it he got rich from you lol true imbeciles !!
RIP John McCain. It's funny reading these comments from "supposed" conservatives raining down on him... Let's rewind the clocks ten years... You all voted for him, lol. It's amazing how divisive this current POTUS has made the party.
Much RESPECT to a true American HERO! His loyalty, his sacrifices, his dedication to the American people will NOT be forgotten! Whatever differences he and/or the American people faced, his heart was for the good of this country! He is a man that is owed respect 4 life for all his work he donated to all of us. His family should be proud of his great legacy! Will someone tell Trumpsters that this man is a role model to what our country needs! I pray al the leaders who represent all parts of this country can learn from his walk of life! May God bless his soul and comfort his loved ones. May GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
Smh even though McCain didn’t appreciate the war and getting drafted he went and served not get out of it with a doctors note🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

Veterans' groups have concluded that McCain has voted at least 28 times against veterans' benefits since arriving in the Senate in 1987. Those votes tried or succeeding in to blocking important benefits for America’s veterans.
In 1991, after the close of the Persian Gulf War, John McCain voted against providing automatic annual cost-of-living adjustments for certain veterans’ benefits. Four years later, McCain supported an appropriations bill that underfunded the Departments of Veterans Affairs and other federal agencies by $8.9 billion. The following year, McCain voted against an amendment to increase spending on veterans programs by $13 billion.
Between 1999 and 2001, McCain stood against appropriations bills that provided regular annual increases in funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs. And in 2003, after the US had been at war in Afghanistan for more than a year, McCain stood up again to providing additional funding for the VA. This was his maverick move.
In 2005, when it became clear that US troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan were suffering unprecedented cases of PTSD, McCain voted against an amendment to appropriate $500 million annually from 2006-2010 for counseling, mental health and rehabilitation services for veterans diagnosed with mental illness, PTSD or substance abuse.
The following year, McCain opposed providing an assured funding stream for veterans’ health care that would increase at the same pace as inflation and the growth of the veterans' population. One month after that definitive vote, McCain voted against providing an additional $430 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.
A strong supporter of privatization and outsourcing in general, McCain opposed a 2007 amendment that would have prevented the Department of Veterans Affairs from outsourcing jobs, many held by blue-collar veterans at VA facilities. McCain took this position even after congressional investigations linked scandalous treatment at Walter Reed Army Hospital to privatization of some of the hospitals services.
This year, John McCain opposed the 21st Century GI Bill, and failed to vote on the final passage of the measure in favor of attending a Republican Party fundraiser in California. Since its passage, despite Mccain's opposition, the new GI Bill has begun to provide better educational opportunities to veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, paying full tuition at in-state schools and living expenses for those who have served at least three years in the service since the 9/11 attacks. McCain said he opposed the bill because, as he told one FOX News program, he thought the benefits were too generous.
He was the last central pillar in congress.
We VIRGOS are straight to the point as well as PASSIONATED on our stance on an ISSUE. Yes, we are very compassionate. We don't tend to let the sun go down without asking for forgiveness in our harshness. That is the senator I admired. in Senator McCain..........
Districts clusters units divisions must recognize their motto credo and spiritual obligation to living life full circle . McCain upped the GAMES for fair sporting. A shadow secretary of defense. What great years this was.

An audio recording has surfaced
proving that U.S. Senator John McCain collaborated with the North
Vietnamese by recording a “Tokyo Rose”-style propaganda message
that was broadcast on North Vietnamese radio in 1969. For many years,
American former P.O.W.s who were in the “Hanoi Hilton” North
Vietnamese prison with John McCain called him a “Songbird” who
collaborated with the enemy against his own country. Stewart Rhodes
joins Gary Franchi to discuss the implications, This is a fact -
fact check / do your research. He is not a hero, he was one of the
worst Deep State Socialist Liberals, connected to Terrorist group
supporters, in the Middle East. This guy is right up there with
Hillary and Obama, who should retire to past history too.
Apache White Crow my audio has surfaced
providing that the present orange has unofficially made it a directive THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR IS A CRIME TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. the orange collaborates with "we will not be replaced by jews" a slogan that was adapted in Virginia at a rally that both parties were good people . as a result of all this a young girl was killed. while both parties were being good people on both sides. this guy orange collaborated with the enemy well before the election and continues. this guy is up there with Hitler and Mussolini and pretends to run THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HE SHOULD RETIRE TO PAST HISTORY TOO
LOL
McCain made a coerced "confession" after four days of torture and on the brink of committing suicide.
APACHE--try checking out his 1997 interview with Mike Wallace! After years of torture, he admits he "broke" and was coerced to sign a "confession"!! Wonder how you would do under those circumstances----you wouldn't last an hour!!! BTW, NO ONE called him songbird, another lie!

John McCain’s accolades from a corrupt swamp is well deserved. As a member of Congress, he deserves no special treatment. His outrageous behavior as a Senator makes him fair game for criticism. Our Sympathy to his family. John McCain deserves neither sympathy nor praise. NONE!
Do some research before posting.
Perhaps search elsewhere other than your present source. Or if capable read a book. Or just remember we have one mouth , and two ears . It is by design, but I understand . Trump is nothing but an unindicted con man. A pathetic fraud . He is an ignorant man baby. And Trumps criminal behavior ? Where you at on that ? America is less than 80% literate , Yourself ? Or did you let Billy Barr read the muller report for you . Outrageous ? Like screwing a whore ? What are you saying ? You do realize He is a lying treasonous criminal . HE RAPES WOMAN
Yes, JOHN surly knew how to take a beating . If it wasn't for the daddy he would just be another piece of meat in a cell. It good to be privileged .

You want to honour John McCain you stand up and turf the traitor
I didn't always agree with McCain, but I could always tell that he had some good values and beliefs that I could get behind. However, listening to these republicans talk about him, after spending the last two years not defending him, or standing up for him against trump makes their words hollow and intolerable. It is even more sad that McCain was one of the last decent rupblicans that cared about country over party and was interested in working / reaching across the aisle. It always seems the "good" ones go early and the devisive, corrupt, spineless ones live on to wreak havoc much longer than they should be able to.

Sorry for this loss.... all I can think of today, is the fact that when he last ran for the president office... that his wife Cindy was wearing dresses that cost $10,000 each... still sickens me that she would waste money like that when he was so down to earth... he deserves all this recognition... just dont want to watch Cindy in it all..
RIP John McCain
Every dog has his day...oh, and today is National Dog Day...coincidence?
Hardly a hero. But hey, let him have a day for people to fawn all over the traitor. Appropriate that day is today.
No way !
After what Donald said about Mr. McCain ("I only like war hero's who don't get caught"), I can not understand that there is still ONE militair who votes for Trump.
Because most military do not like the man they call "Songbird"
