    Any rate, awful news. Hope they can do something for him.

    yes obamacare will take care of him and MANY others in same situation. Yet that idiot trump wants to repeal. No need to fix something that isnt broke. 17 million will lose tbeir health insurance if trump has his way.

    He's a survivor.. He'll make it..

    Surviving POW's have a knack for staying alive.. I'd be surprised if this brain cancer takes him out... They already did an operation and removed the cancerous tumor.. So he's good for now.. If it spreads he's done though after this..

    I've seen a loved one die of brain cancer and it's horrific, I wish that on nobody.. The personality changes and you won't even recognize the person after the cancer in the brain takes hold.. That's when meds kick in and you put them out hopefully for the remainder of their days... Anger and nastiness comes out when the cancer takes over the brain, it's wicked.... Pain and suffering as well.

    Pretty sad that we let politics divide us to the point we can't wish a 5 1/2 year Vietnam POW well when he has brain cancer

    And we wonder why we're a fukked up country

    This might be the dumbest post ever at SBR and that's saying a lot!

    Congress has it's own insurance. They don't fall under Dobama's Unaffordable Act or whatever replaces it and there are only 8 million signed up for Obamacare so how could 17 million lose it?

    Don't be so sure, he's got the best doctors, the best meds.. A positive attitude and he just went thru a successful operation to remove the cancerous tumor... Chemo and radiation next..

    He's a survivor and I'd bet he makes it and doesn't die from brain cancer.. Anyone taking bets? POW's survive that's what they do!!

    He is not a war hero. He is a war hero because he was captured. I particularly like people who were not captured.

    Imagine voting for a piece of shit who had four deferments and said that.

    This clown has been at war with Russia for as long as I can remember myself, all while continuing to supply terrorists with weapons in Syria, Iraq, Ukraine and places alike.
    In Russia, when they come to arrest this type of scum, they usually give them 5 minutes in a room along with their gun to quickly revisit the things that they've done for the humanity.

    You'd be surprised how much money annually this little move saves to the taxpayers.

    yeah a top ten horrible thing Trump has publicly said since his campaign began..

    and wrong too... McCain was a "hero" before he was even captured... trying to save members of his unit from being blown up and got hit with bomb shrapnel in the process. and later still volunteered for more active combat duty....

    McCain requested a combat assignment,[24] and was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal flying A-4 Skyhawks.[25] His combat duty began when he was 30 years old, in mid-1967, when Forrestal was assigned to a bombing campaign, Operation Rolling Thunder, during the Vietnam War.[20][26] Stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin, McCain and his fellow pilots became frustrated by micromanagement from Washington, and he would later write that "In all candor, we thought our civilian commanders were complete idiots who didn't have the least notion of what it took to win the war."[26][27]
    On July 29, 1967, McCain, by then a lieutenant commander, was near the epicenter of the USS Forrestal fire. He escaped from his burning jet and was trying to help another pilot escape when a bomb exploded;[28] McCain was struck in the legs and chest by fragments.[29] The ensuing fire killed 134 sailors and took 24 hours to control.[30][31] With the Forrestal out of commission, McCain volunteered for assignment with the USS Oriskany, another aircraft carrier employed in Operation Rolling Thunder.[32] Once there, he would be awarded the Navy Commendation Medal and the Bronze Star for missions flown over North Vietnam.[33]
    Prisoner of war

    McCain's capture and subsequent imprisonment began on October 26, 1967. He was flying his 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam when his A-4E Skyhawk was shot down by a missile over Hanoi.[34][35] McCain fractured both arms and a leg ejecting from the aircraft,[36] and nearly drowned when he parachuted into Trúc Bạch Lake.[34] Some North Vietnamese pulled him ashore, then others crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt and bayoneted him.[34] McCain was then transported to Hanoi's main Hỏa Lò Prison, nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton".[35]
    Although McCain was badly wounded, his captors refused to treat his injuries, beating and interrogating him to get information; he was given medical care only when the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a high-ranking admiral.[37] His status as a prisoner of war (POW) made the front pages of major newspapers.[38][39]
    McCain spent six weeks in the hospital while receiving marginal care.[34] By then having lost 50 pounds (23 kg), in a chest cast, and with his gray hair turned white as snow,[34]McCain was sent to a different camp on the outskirts of Hanoi[40] in December 1967, into a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live a week.[41] In March 1968, McCain was put into solitary confinement, where he would remain for two years.[42]
