21 Gun Salute to Senator John McCain - RIP My Friend
Despite how I personally feel about the colonizers through the US War machine ..Let this black dude from the hood show yall how it's done....let me show yall what respect is like For a man who earned respect by respecting and sacrificing for others.
John McCain is a true hero, patriot, and good human being. That being said I will take moment to Trump and his supporters how honoring a WAR HERO should be done.
In honor of the would be General...Senator John McCain
Excerpts from his final book "The Restless Wave" :
Quote:
In his memoir, McCain has blistering criticisms of Donald Trump's presidency, from his lack of empathy for immigrants and refugees to his praise for "some of the world's worst tyrants."
"I'm not sure what to make of President Trump's convictions," McCain writes. "His lack of empathy for refugees, innocent, persecuted, desperate men, women, and children, is disturbing. The way he speaks about them is appalling, as if welfare or terrorism were the only purposes they could have in coming to our country.
"He has declined to distinguish the actions of our government from the crimes of despotic ones. The appearance of toughness, or a reality show facsimile of toughness, seems to matter more than any of our values. The world expects us to be concerned with the condition of humanity. We should be proud of that reputation. I’m not sure the president understands that."
“I want to urge Americans for as long as I can, to remember that this shared devotion to human rights is our truest heritage and our most important loyalty,” McCain said.
“Before I leave, I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,” he said. “I’d like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We’re citizens of a Republic made of shared ideals.”
This final excerpt is the true measure of the man.
Quote:
“‘The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it,’ spoke my hero, Robert Jordan, in [Ernest Hemingway’s] ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls.‘ And I do, too. I hate to leave it. But I don’t have a complaint. Not one. It’s been quite a ride. I’ve known great passions, seen amazing wonders, fought in a war, and helped make a peace. I’ve lived very well and I’ve been deprived of all comforts. I’ve been as lonely as a person can be and I‘ve enjoyed the company of heroes. I’ve suffered the deepest despair and experienced the highest exultation. I made a small place for myself in the story of America and the history of my times.
“I leave behind a loving wife, who is devoted to protecting the world’s most vulnerable, and seven great kids, who grew up to be fine men and women. I wish I had spent more time in their company. But I know they will go on to make their time count, and be of useful service to their beliefs, and to their fellow human beings. Their love for me and mine for them is the last strength I have.
“What an ingrate I would be to curse the fate that concludes the blessed life I’ve led. I prefer to give thanks for those blessings, and my love to the people who blessed me with theirs. The bell tolls for me. I knew it would. So I tried, as best I could, to stay a ‘part of the main.‘ I hope those who mourn my passing, and even those who don’t, will celebrate as I celebrate a happy life lived in imperfect service to a country made of ideals, whose continued service is the hope of the world. And I wish all of you great adventures, good company, and lives as lucky as mine.”
When he was the Republican nominee for President y’all were calling him a racist.
Bunch of hypocrites.
False..you peddle in lies but I have truth....NO sane person ever called Jon McCain OF ALL people a racist. In fact he proved that by this encounter that forever changed politics, infuriated the racists on the right but added to his remarkable legend. /fail attempt Dali try again
Don't try to use this platform to bash the man. If you want to say something disparaging about the War Hero then just be a fucking man and say it as it doesn't matter because he'll always be 10x the man that any of you will ever be.
