Trump Opens McCains Treasonous Can of Worms
The Donald Doubles Down on His "McCain Not a War Hero" Statements
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
Over the weekend, “the Donald” backed down on his attacks on McCain, calling “Hanoi John” a “war hero.”
However,
Donald is not going to be able to close the can of worms he opened.
Today, McCain is trying to wrap himself in the POW flag for cover. POWs
had never been rock star heroes before, quite the opposite. These are
people who surrendered to the enemy, people suspected of collaboration
and worse. With Korea, POWs became the shame of America with many
“brainwashed” into following communist doctrines.
American
POWs from Vietnam were the bloody flag Richard Nixon wrapped himself
in, on the advice of Henry Kissinger, part of a ploy to divert attention
from his endless personal failings which included his agreement with
North Vietnam that let them keep and later execute hundreds of American
POWs. 1205 American POWs were kept by North Vietnam according to
records recovered at the end of the Cold War. President’s Clinton and
Yeltsin instituted a search of Russia’s gulags looking for their remains
with no success. In 1993, armed with testimony from a former high
ranking Czech security official, I proposed a systematic search of
archives in Prague that recorded the fate of 200 missing US POWs from
Vietnam but was blocked by Senator John McCain.
33
POWs faced execution for treason after Vietnam until Nixon pardoned all
POWs. McCain was on the list of the 33, in fact at the head of it.
Here are the facts as we know them:
- According to Colonel Ted Guy, John McCain’s commander as a POW, McCain collaborated with the enemy.
- McCain is accused of giving information that led to the downing of 60 US aircraft
- McCain is accused of training North Vietnamese air defense personnel
- McCain is accused of making over 30 propaganda broadcasts against the US, broadcasts he moved to have classified when he was elected to the senate
These
4 accusations are the only real and supportable accusations against
McCain. The evidence for these acts exists and is substantial. What is
stranger still is McCain’s longtime war against veterans, other POWs
and their families. When John was a bit younger and better capable of
looking after himself, he was often both verbally and physically abusive
to POW families, POW activists and veterans. We hear nothing of these
brutal outbursts of McCain’s though they continue to this day, now taken
as the ravings of a mental defective.
The
door Donald opened should be kept open. We need to examine the POW
phenomenon. After Vietnam, we allowed Nixon to glorify POWs while
abandoning hundreds. The facts came to light during the late 1990s when
tapes of conversations between Nixon and Kissinger were made public,
for moments, with Kissinger admitting that American POWS held outside
North Vietnam, in Laos, Cambodia and the South, were purposefully not
included in the agreements, a number Kissinger put at over 200.
These
tapes were cleaned from the media and are not available to even
researchers, were such interested parties to exist, which they do not.
Vietnam was a useless war. I served in Vietnam as a Marine combat infantryman and know the war well close up.
Those
of us that served felt abused and exploited and suffered far worse at
the hands of Nixon and subsequent leaders who backed away from those of
us who served as honorably as possible while engaging in a nutty frenzy
of POW worship.
Trump
is right, those who surrender are generally not heroes. Some were
however, like Ted Guy, a man taken on the ground fighting, killing 4 of
his captors.
Guy,
however, is only one of many thousands, many many thousands, from
Vietnam that should have received some aspect of recognition in a war
where many more thousands lived like gods. Vietnam was a scam, drugs,
prostitution, black market, the best food and hottest parties in the
world for many who came home from the war with medals on their chests
for doing nothing whatsoever.
I
might add, the Saigon press club war correspondents were the worst of
all, living like kings on little boys and little girls while being
occasionally flown for “10 minutes of war” with a general, then back to
the clubs and brothels. They all should have been locked in FEMA camps,
were such things to exist.
As for
the Donald, he should demand that, minimally, the American public be
able to hear McCain’s broadcasts and see the records of his debriefing
and read the statements made against him by other POWs, including and
especially Colonel Ted Guy.
This
man, if you wish to call him that, “McCain” has been allowed to destroy
America’s security for two generations, along with friends like “light
loafer Lindsey” Graham and others.
In
one instance alone, the F35, McCain has personally destroyed America’s
defense capabilities for 25 years. This is his plane, his project, his
monstrosity.
There
hasn’t been a defense scam in decades that hasn’t had his hand prints
on it. Time for Trump to get serious and show some backbone. McCain is
a hard target, time for Trump to stop bashing the easy guys and take
this one on.
