My grandfather fought over there. I served with men and women that fought over there. I've been there myself(didn't fight, but now I get to say "back when I was in Nam".)

The horrors those people have seen and dealt with shouldn't be taken lightly.

Any person who doubts that McCain served honorably and displayed great character during the Vietnam War, and somehow believes Trump's character is greater, should read this long piece in yesterday's Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/07/20/what-donald-trump-was-up-to-while-john-mccain-was-suffering-as-a-prisoner-of-war/. It's a good read. If you can come away from that and think that a man who volunteered to serve on a mission in which he put his life in peril is less of a man than a person who bragged about all the women he wined and dined and the money he threw around...

Oh wait.

Trump's found his perfect audience. Continue.

How dare you say such a thing! Did you fight in Vietnam?

I was alive (just) when it was still going on, and I've watched Apocalypse Now twice -- does that count?

What's Trump's war record? I don't recall reading anything about it.

Sorry, but if you weren't there or aren't directly related to someone who was, then you cannot comment about Donald trumps comments about John Mccain. Just the way it is in Murica!

You need to add Platoon to the list. Then maybe we'll talk..

john mccain was in a plane on that carrier and had two bombs in the fire right next to his plane.

Trump stuck his feet inside his mouth and instead of apologizing for his idiocy on camera, he doubled down and just made himself a bigger buffoon than he already was.

The only candidate that is being reticent about the fiasco is Canadian-born Rafael Eduardo, who is probably seeking Trump's approval and financial support, if Trump's nomination falls through. On a positive note, for Trump supporters, they can still vote for Rafael who will probably become Trump's lackey, if elected.
