Er, no.

but that didn't stop the Swift Boat lies.

True enough.

Face the facts, Captain McCain was a first-class ****up as
a midshipman and an officer, the only reason it took them
so long to finally drum his ass out of the Navy was because
he was a legacy officer, the son and grandson of Admirals.

Er, no.

John Kerry signed Standard Form 180 (SF-180) which allowed the
release of his full military record. The record, and his own
crew, prove that the Swift Boaters were liars.

Captain McCain has refused to sign Standard Form 180 (SF-180).

Why ?

Because John Kerry voted to seal all POW records...? Are you suggesting
that McCain was flying (and/or crashing) planes while he was a POW?

Because he was a royal ****up that's why.

You've convinced me. McCain should never be allowed to fly a fighter
jet again and Obama is a crackhead dope fiend...

But he was a "hero" too, in the same way many other POWs were
"heroes".

Er, no. His conduct as a POW was heroic, and attempts to diminish that
for political reasons do nothing but reflect badly on those making the
attempt.
