Current Events > It's official. John McCain is no longer a war hero!

(+) Yeah! (+)

He's conservapedia's article on John McCain as it appeared in December 2014:

http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=John_McCain&oldid=1124868

John Sidney McCain III, born in the U.S. Panama Canal Zone, August 29, 1936 (age 81)[1], was the Republican candidate for President in 2008 as well as a prominent maverick politician and Vietnam War hero. He is also the senior Senator of Arizona. He has been an influential leader in American politics since 1986, when he ran for office attacking corruption, attacking pork barrel spending and working for campaign finance reform. He was defeated by George W. Bush for the Republican presidential nomination in 2000, and lost to Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election.

As a pilot for the United States Navy and former Prisoner-of-War (POW), he served in the military for 22 years.[2] McCain, a Baptist,[3] has impressive credentials on issues of foreign policy and national security, which have propelled him in the forefront of national politics as both an outspoken voice for the United States military and as a Presidential contender for the Republican Party since 1993.[4]

In the Senate in 2009 McCain has moved to the right, shedding his maverick image with full-throated attacks on the Democrats' proposals for health care reform, cap-and-trade environmental taxes, and wasteful stimulus spending, while supporting President Obama's aggressive policies in the Afghanistan War.

And here's the most recent version of the article:

John Sidney McCain III, born in the U.S. Panama Canal Zone, August 29, 1936 (age 81),[1] was the Republican candidate for President in 2008 as well as a prominent maverick politician and Vietnam War veteran. He is also the senior Senator of Arizona. He has been an influential leader in American politics since 1986, when he ran for office attacking corruption, attacking pork barrel spending and working for campaign finance reform. McCain was defeated by George W. Bush for the Republican presidential nomination in 2000, and lost to Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election.

As a pilot for the United States Navy and former Prisoner-of-War (POW), he served in the military for 22 years.[1] McCain, a Baptist,[2] has emphasizes issues related to foreign policy and national security, which have propelled him in the forefront of national politics as both an outspoken voice for the United States military and as a Presidential contender for the Republican Party since 1993.[3]

Despite his hawkish national security positions, McCain takes moderate positions overall, and he has flip-flopped various times, most notably when he voted against repealing ObamaCare in 2017 when he made numerous campaign statements several years prior stating he would do the exact opposite. McCain also is a globalist on issues related to foreign policy.[4] He criticized Donald Trump for caring more about projecting strength than displaying a neoconservative promotion of democracy worldwide and letting in large numbers of refugees,[5] as well as for his immigration positions.[6] He stated in 2018 that he regretted choosing conservative Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Still more accurate than rationalwiki.

I can respect Nam vets. they didn't ask to fight. they got forced into that situation. and then on top of that, when they get home, the country attacks them. it's very fucked up. how we treated our Nam vets is one of the most shameful things in American history

The talk page is something.

http://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:John_McCain/archive1#McCain_.26_Evolution

John McCain's view of evolution is not "nuanced." He is a darwinist who rejects God's influence in our world. We criticize Obama for being muslim- but John McCain is hardly a conservative and denies the very nature of a Christian God. Let's call a spade a spade. --DReynolds 10:41, 28 January 2009 (EST)

No argument there. The vietnam war was a total clusterfuck but that's not the fault of the soldiers.

So you're blaming the people against the war, not the evil leaders who sent American to die for political grandstanding?

How very neutral of you.

Being against the war is one thing, and totally justified. But take it up against the politicians who are responsible for the war, not against the soldiers who return home...

Holy crap, Im watching the Vietnam documentary and a part of McCain cams on just as I was reading this.

Okay so a lot of people gave Vietnam vets a dickish treatment upon returning. That sucks.

Not sure why its even worth focusing on rather than the evil politicians who thought american lives were worth less than showing Russia how big of a dick America has.

yeah the vietnam war was bullshit and not justified at all but anyone that attacks the soldiers are beyond scum
