Looks like the US Government punished McCain pretty well as a result of aiding the enemy with seventeen military awards and decorations include the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, and Navy Commendation Medal; all for actions before, during, and after his time as a POW!!! |
Jeeze... how thick are you? I was not comparing Obama's drug use to McCain's being a POW! I was comparing Obama's use of his books to get his negatives out to McCain using a Newsweek story to only show his positives.
As for his medals, those that you listed were the common outlay for most captured pilots. How about you look at what the Navy did for McCain and McCain alone... like giving him a very, very, unusual billet as CO of a non-deploying stateside-only training squadron instead of a deployable fleet squadron? Or how about how the Navy stashed him after his one and only CO billet and declined to promote him any further?
