    Being a disabled veteran, in and of itself, doesn't confer sainthood on anyone. Veterans, disabled or otherwise, represent a cross section of society. There are good and bad.

    I'm glad someone else said it so I didn't have to.
    Exactly.
    No one has said John McCain didnt sacrifice or earn respect for service. But if someone thinks that service gives someone an open ended check to behave any way they wish among others in society or in Congress, or that their opinion counts MORE than another citizens, then they are wrong. This is OUR republic together. Some people have different jobs than others to serve her.

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but his ACCOUNT posted.
    You have ZERO idea who wrote the post, and it wasn't on the POTUS account.

    The flag over the Whitehouse is at full staff, and Trump has made ZERO official statement.
    Unexcusable...
    Shows exactly what kind of person he is (notice I didn't write 'Man').

    What account does Trump use? Does he even have a "POTUS" account?

    The flag was at half staff for the prescribed amount of time per the flag code.

    OK. Every time a senator dies we put the flag at half mast...???
    Not seen that or I was not paying attention. They are just people. Nothing special past you or I.
    Yes he was a warrior. If they flew at half mast that was why.

    JM was terrible about Trump. Openly and brazen about it. I think Decorum has been mt all things considered.

    Per the flag code, it's to be at half mast the day of death and the following day for a congressman and a few others. 30 days for sitting Pres, 10 days for current VP or former pres. It also lists it for Chief justice and associate justice of SCOTUS and a few others such as Gov of states.


    I disagree with this, they are lowering the flag to half mast for way too many things now. It's diluting what it means.

    Trump was in a "no win"situation and as some others have said, was more gracious that I would have been. Treating JM different than any other Senator sets a bad precedent and does dilute the honor it bestows. The way I see it it's already diluted. Presupposing Senators are much more important and deserving than any person in the military service of our country.
    If he had kept his personal animus for JM on the downlow he could have stuck to the flag code. Since the media look for any reason to deride the President he took the cheap and easy way out and I don't see that he had much of a choice.
