John McCain of Arizona(AZ) for being nabbed in Vietnam, he believes the record is true.
“In case it’s true, & on the basis of everything he’s stated I believe the article’s true, I had inquire you all this rhetorical query: Just how accomplish you feel? Just how would you feel in case you’d a kid in Afghanistan now? Just how would you feel in case you lost a son, daughter, spouse, spouse? Just how would you feel, for real?” he stated.
“I have never being as disappointed in my whole career with a leader I have performed with — president (or) otherwise,” Biden stated. “It’s absolutely damnable. It’s a disgrace.”

“I just think it’s sick. It’s deplorable. It’s so un-American. It’s so unpatriotic,” Biden stated.
Pointing to Beau Biden’s service in Iraq & as a civilian in Kosovo, Biden stated his own son “was not a sucker.”
He stated Trump “must humbly apologize to each Gold Star mom & dad & each Blue Star family (4) that he’s denigrated & offended. Who the heck does he think he’s?”
“Work, honour, nation: These are values that drive our service members, an all-voluntary outfit. President Trump has showed he’s no sense of service; no loyalty to any cause different than himself,” Biden stated.
“In case I’ve the honour to be the next commander in chief, I’ll make sure that our American heroes really know that I’ve their own back, honour their own sacrifice, & those that were wounded going to be in military parades.”
