Senator John McCain has died.

May he rest in peace.

McCain, who has died at the age of 81, was a naval bomber pilot, prisoner of war, conservative maverick, giant of the Senate, twice-defeated presidential candidate and an abrasive American hero with a twinkle in his eye.

The Arizonan warrior politician, who survived plane crashes, several bouts of skin cancer and brushes with political oblivion, often seemed to be perpetually waging a race against time and his own mortality while striving to ensure that his five-and-a-half years as a Vietnam prisoner of war did not stand as the defining experience of his life.

He spent his last few months out of the public eye in his adopted home state of Arizona, reflecting on the meaning of his life and accepting visits from a stream of friends and old political combatants.

While the word “hero” is often grossly misused, that cannot be said about John McCain. A true American and a hero in every sense of the word.
Rest in peace.

That accurately describes this man

RW16610 · 26 August 2018, 10:52 AM

I just read the write-up they put on TMZ and he was an incredible man. May he rest in peace.

MickCollins1916 · 26 August 2018, 11:13 AM

What a patriot.

That gentleman will be missed. Rest In Peace, Senator.

As an aside, I hope you’re incorrect about the prediction of a forthcoming lock.

We need more John McCain's. What a great American. I didn't agree with everything politically, but there is no politician I respected more. His military heritage, experience and credentials..well, I am not worthy to comment. He even handled his demise with courage and grace. We are poorer for his passing. RIP.

Senator McCain is a man all Americans should be proud of.

Couldn't possibly agree more.

I just read he and Ted Kennedy died of the same malady, 9 years apart to the day.
