    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.

    Oh I don't thinks so. In a new thread some of us would feel free to speak freely of the man.

    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.

    Well it appears, @PtldPlatypus has the @SlyPokerDog act well in hand.

    Leave the tort and delete the appropriate response. Sort of like looking with one eye. Depth perception sucks.

    This is another good reason why this thread needs to close and a new one started.
    At the risk of saying anything negative in this thread, the rightful comment here will not be expressed.

    The right comment is always..."I disagree and here's why"..another option is..."I don't buy it but you're welcome to your opinion".....respect...pass it on
