It's sad our country is this divided that we can't even all pay respects to someone who dedicated his life to help people. Maybe not always how you'd like, but dedicated nonetheless.

And this is the problem with this thread. It's a complete whitewash of history.

Ok, I'll chime in some.
If two people don't have respect for one another, imo, it would be disrespectful to say things that they don't feel.
Id rather a person in leadership simply convey condolences and sorrow to the family, rather than blow hot air.
It's ok if the deceased and/or family doesn't want or expect, the other to attend any services.
Neither is right or wrong, they are feelings! and feelings are not right or wrong!

In your opinion.

Yes, I suspect you are sensing his opinion correctly.
I too have declined to speak ill of the man in a thread created to acknowledge his passing. Many of us like to speak our mind as we we perceive the truth. Some from as we feel it, and other as logical deduction guides us. Being one that prefers logic over feeling for decision making, I do think there is a place for feeling and even the opinions of those that prefer that process in decision making.

Perhaps this is the time to hold one's piece at the advice of those who's sense of feeling for proper decorum is greater than mine, possibly even yours.

I’m interested in hearing how these events are viewed by @BrianFromWA and others currently serving as well as the veterans around here.

I already have my opinion of Trump but I’m wondering if those who are or have served feel slighted by Trump. I know a large portion of veterans support Trump. Does his treatment of McCains passing affect their views at all?

Both the VFW and the American Legion were offended by Trump's actions upon Senator McCain's death. Me? I'm a life member of both and feel the same.

I think it would be helpful if you started a new threat where opinions could be fully vented. This is McCain's thread.

A terrible, terrible decision that underminded any faith in his decision making. Had he chosen a better vp candidate he may have had better success against Obama. If he wanted a woman he should have chosen Rice.

Rice is a sharp cookie. In fact both Rices are sharp cookies, Susan and Condoleezza.

This is another good reason why this thread needs to close and a new one started.
