>>The degenerate liar said that someone like Sergeant Hynes and all the men on that death march weren't heroes because they had been captured.
I also heard Trump was responsible for the disgraceful denigration of troops returning from Viet Nam. And of course there's this:
https://babylonbee.com/news/anonymous-white-house-source-claims-trump-punched-a-babyIMHO wild extrapolations of what was actually said and against whom, may appeal to those who already made up their minds but if you stick to the facts- McCain sniped at Trump, and Trump sniped at McCain. It was a classic male p**ing contest and McCain doesn't get a pass because he was a war hero- most likely he'd be offended by such a notion. Lowest blow? Well, for a Senator from the same party to dispatch a staffer to collect a political hit dossier paid for by the opposition and deliver it to the FBI to help kick-start the Russia hoax against his own candidate... not so sure I'd call that bravery and genuflect, but whatever.
FWIW, I live in a city whose mayor once spat at war returnees. Elected twice now. Things we care about are not always mainstream any more, so while the latest attacks seem designed to play on patriotic support of troops, I'm not sure the mud will stick satisfactorily even if it does, if you see what I mean.
Your appreciation of valour is impressive but sadly increasingly old-fashioned.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
