"War hero" yes. If what he did was heroic in the adversity of war, what he does after the war is technically irrelevant to that title.
Just like no matter what Trump has or hasn't done, said or didn't say, he still raised good kids (assuming he was a major influence in their lives). He could shoot someone on 5th avenue in cold blood but it doesn't mean he was a bad father necessarily.

To elaborate, we view our (America's) founding fathers in high esteem. They fought tyranny and created a foundation of what would later be a powerhouse.
Now, this doesn't mean they were actually fantastic individuals by today's standards. In one breath they claim all men are created equal, yet conveniently choose NOT to address slavery, and most of them hypocritically owned some (yes, including George Washington)... some even slept with their slaves and had illegitimate children. I could go on and on about the abominable things some of our presidents and founding fathers have done, but it doesn't take away from what they helped create, that being, "the beacon of light on a hill" as Reagan would put it.

My memory isn't so good to remember everything that everybody ever said word for word. He ridiculed Trump's supporters. The press keeps telling you what Trump said without reminding you what McCain said first. Do actually believe Donald Trump woke up one day and said, for no reason whatsoever, "I'm going to tell the world John McCain isn't a war hero"? Even the liberals concede that Donald is a counter puncher.

I did... You're actually agreeing with me. Nothing he does (or says) will derail his supporters for his bid as president of the United States. I'm not sure what is being taken out of context though... other than some unknown group of people that think Trump would really shoot someone (I'm not part of that crowd).
Let me put it this way: If I was a war hero, and then came home and burned down your house, what would you say to a reporter if they asked you if I was a war hero. I think that's what happened to Trump after his supporters were attacked by McCain. The reporters asked Trump if he thought McCain was a war hero. Trumps feelings were hurt so he said, "No." You appear to be an intelligent person. I think you can understand why Trump said what he said.
K
Of course not. Read my first post in this thread. I said Trump speaks emotionally and not pragmatically. I don't think Trump knew he was going to discredit McCain's war service until the second he thought of the attack and spewed it out.
I don't know if McCain even "attacked Trump or his supporters. Maybe the media did report on it, maybe they didn't. I just thought you knew as you were saying that is why he attacked his war credentials. Can you give me a summary of what McCain said about his supporters? Does any of it have relevance to what McCain did in war?

I would say: Um... I'm not talking about what resurrection33 did in war. I'm talking about him burning my house down. Why not ask me a question pertaining to that instead?
It would be just as ridiculous as if they asked me, "So, do you like resurections33's hair style?" Even if I do, why would I talk about that when my house was just burned down?

I believe what is happening is that Donald sometimes speaks carelessly, and the liberals use that to make it sound like he is "unfit to be president." Who is unfit to be president? The one who sells her soul by blessing same-sex marriage and deletes 30,000 emails, or someone who sometimes speaks carelessly?
K
Exactly. That is why in my first post I agreed with you and also added that Donald doesn't help the situation. He makes it exponentially worse. I also noted however, that while sometimes they take things out of context, often times they do get it spot on. There is just no justification for some of the things he says/does.
