That must have been interesting, he had to have a giant heart you would think so right?

[@callum7081]

The decision to stay to make life easier for his fellow prisoners is something I respect immensely. This mans honour and love for his fellow man is amazing.

[@AK-hj6kx]

That’s a real hero who is an inspiration to every American including myself. An American, Muslim, Immigrant. God bless America

[@Bell_plejdo568p]

He invaded a country and killed a bunch of innocent ppl propgrands really done a bunch

[@MatthewMutz]

It’s reported that he “sang”, told them about the routes the pilots were taking and that led to a 70% increase in our pilots deaths. He’s no hero here.

[@hossesarse]

I wept while watching Obama's tribute and eulogy to this American hero. What a masterpiece of a human being John McCaine is. He recognized that America's greatest contribution to humanity is our example as a civil society. As brief as the human life is, I feel so blessed to have been alive while he was and to witness his example.

[@vietlebaohoang4887]

As the Vietnamese it such an embarrassment to see him tortured like that. However, numerous Vietnamese soldiers being captured by South Vietnam and the US was beaten to death, that's the tragic things in the war

[@bernarddavis1050]

There is no need for you to be embarrassed. McCain was NOT tortured in captivity. As the son of an American admiral, he was seen as a a very valuable prisoner, and given especially good treatment . In gratitude, McCain collaborated fully with his captors. He invented the stories of his "torture" after his release to justify his collaboration. He was a man of low moral character who abandoned his wife (who had waited loyally for him during his imprisonment) when she was badly injured in a car accident. Americans are extremely gullible to fall for this lying nonsense.

[@applesandgrapesfordinner4626]

​@bernarddavis1050 It's okay to admit there were no heroes in the war and that everyone was a victim of it in some way. Yes, the Vietnamese were most justified in their anger, but it would be lying to say that they weren't all heroic neither. It's just a sad consequence of that brutal war.

[@Newie67]

It would have been a blessing to watch McCain tear up Trump for his behavior.

[@hez5354]

Wherever John McCain is now, I hope he's looking down on us all and smiling. He was an honourable and honest man. R.I.P.

No he’s wasn’t he’s in hell he invaded a country illegal and killed a bunch of innocent ppl

John McCain was the perfect example of an American Hero. He never gave up and used nothing but mental and physical toughness to make it back to safety. Nobody can tell me any different.

I'm not a McCain fan, he was a poor presidential candidate, to endure what a prisoner had to at the Hanoi Hilton took tremendous strength and courage. I have absolute respect for those who endured such horrific treatment by the NVA at the HH. I'M not sure at what point I would break under constant torture. God bless all who had to endure.

I'll always hate Trump for how he treated McCain. When says he saw men who went though worse. I don't know. He likely means immediate barbaric torture. Finger cutting and worse. Being starved and broke down in solitary is a whole different beast. Nobody will ever call him songbird to my face. When one beating from me makes em take it back. They'll get how strong he really was. I hope by the time he died and found peace and knew he did better than most of us could've dreamed. That those of us that live this country. Even Democrats. Had love for him that crossed party lines. We lost one of the greatest Americans of all time when we lost John McCain. A true soldier. And he never bad mouthed Obama. And absolute gentleman and a true class act. John McCain is a throw back to what made America the greatest. It's not this hate filled bullshit trump spews. It's being willing to put it all on the line for each other. Pushing it as far as you can. Setting standards that are unreachable. It took years to break him. And he wasn't happy with it. He continued to serve this country in one way or another until the day he died. I'm disgraced he had to witness the likes of trump become president. He didn't deserve that.

[@jamirimaj6880]

From surviving a war to a dramatic thumbs down, every politician craves even a tenth of what this man had in life and politics. Cheers!

[@zeldapowers8094]

Let’s see how well trump could handle what this man endured. My now fiancé, father was a navy oral surgeon and rebuilt Johns mouth after he came back POW. Now as far as being a part of war and what he ever did that was conceived as criminal…that’s another story, but the man was tough as nails and he had them driven into him during torture, literally…his mouth was rotten when he escaped. Vietnam seemed like a super sick government social experiment to test power

[@nyguy5370]

He said “I did not live up to the standard I thought I should live up to”. John McCain - you led a great life of service and honor. We are lucky to have had men like you among us. I only wish the republican party of 2020 was comprised of men and women who are as humble, honest, and honorable as you were.
