John McCain has died at age 81 (READ OP)

[zsynqx]

As a reminder, do not celebrate this occasion or declare that you're glad that the man is dead. It should not be too much to ask that we treat his death better than the alt right is. You are still welcome to discuss and criticize John McCain's political legacy without the aforementioned vitriol. We also ask that this thread stay on topic and not get derailed into wider ancillary arguments like the Vietnam war.

RIP.

Rest in Peace to an American hero.

Didn't agree with him on much, but he was the definition of hero.

RIP.

He had a good run. He could have died in Vietnam, but made it out.

That's a feat in it's own.

 

[Tagyhag]

Wow, I was not expecting it to be that quick.

RIP.

Rest in peace.

I'm not a GOP supporter but this man was a giant in American politics and his efforts to work across the isle is exemplary.

He will be missed.

 

[CallMeShaft]

RIP to the maverick and American hero.

 

[Joeytj]

Sad, and thoughts and prayers to his family.

I have a lot of political opinions about him but it feels like the Senate just got even less decent, at least the Republicans.

 

[NealMcCauley]

RIP. When they stopped treatment I thought he had maybe a week or two, not hours.

 

[Tbm24]

That's way faster than expected, RIP. This feels weird, honestly. I've seen him talk a lot. 08 is seared in my memory, this feels weird.

 

[____]

Damn that was fast

 

[golguin]

It happened so soon after the treatment stopped.

 

[GMM]

Didn't agree with him on a lot of things, but man should no one have to live through what he has experienced. Rest in peace Mr. McCain and lets hope no one and their families has to endure what he went through.

 

[rusty chrome]

I wouldn't wish brain cancer on anyone. Rest in peace.

 

[Shadownet]

May not agree with his political view and actions. But he's still an American hero, a veteran and a father/husband.
Rest in Peace John.

 

[ronco2000]

Shit. That was quick. I thought he had time left after stopping the treatment. RIP.

 

[entremet]

RIP.

 

[VZ_Blade]

Rest In Peace.
I don't agree with his views at all, but he is respectable, unlike a lot of officials today.

 

[Bramblebutt]

Whatever his politics, I sincerely hope his last days were comfortable in equal measure to his leadership. One thing he was not was unprincipled, much as I disagreed with him. Many of his colleagues couldn't honestly claim the same, and I especially doubt they'd be able to survive a torture scenario. Platitude though it may be, I dearly hope he passed with as much dignity and respect now as he held in his long life of valorous conduct and public service, and he has left an example for all men, but Republicans especially, to follow.

 

[Rainy]

Rest in peace.

RIP soldier.

He must have been really far into it to pass-on so quickly after treatment stopped.

[Elderly Parrot]

Man he would have probably died in office if he had won from the strain

 

[Deepthought_]

I saw the other thread saying he was in his last days but didnt think it was that close

He lived a long life

 

[Dullahan]

May he rest in peace.

 

[Baked Pigeon]

RIP. Didn't expect it that fast, I hope the family is holding up okay.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Damn

 

[3rdman]

RIP. Didn't always agree with him but he was an honest to god hero.

 

[DrewFu]

Sad to hear. RIP

With his type of tumor treatment was only going to give him a little more time, he was likely to die within a year of being diagnosed.

 

[Lackless]

Wow, I know he just got off medication but I was expecting it to happen this soon.

 

[RoKKeR]

Fuck.

RIP. A great man. Condolences to his family.

 

[Based0ne]
