SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN... Dr. Strangelove and how he loved the bomb... By Wm. Dorich
On March 27, 1941 in the early months of the Nazi occupation of Yugoslavia the military putsch in Belgrade saved the Soviet Union from being crushed by the Nazi legions. McCain's belief that the Russians therefore do not owe a debt of gratitude to the Serbs is naive, if not stupid. Historians claim that putsch in 1941 saved millions of Russians lives. Churchill glorified the Serbs "For their magnificent Valor." Something McCain sorely lacked.
McCain's support of Clinton's illogical and illegal war against the Serbs reveals that he, too, would rule by coercion. Dozens of Serbs gave their lives to save the lives of 520 American Airmen downed over occupied Yugoslavia in WWII. McCain also betrays General Mihailovich in support of Tito, knowing full well that Tito was planning a communist state. The Americans sold millions of Serbs into 55 years of servitude. Now the United States is helping to steal their land, piece by piece and after more than 400 years of Ottoman Muslim slavery that ugly rule has returned to the Balkans, where the Muslims denied the Serbs the right to own property, to be educated, even the use of musical instruments... The Serbs provided the first victory in WWI as Cer, Serbia and were instrumental in destroying the Austrian and the Ottoman Empires. McCain appeared to be totally ignorant of this history.
McCain is the same Senator from Arizona who remained silent when the Serbian Orthodox church in his state was desecrated with Swastikas and filthy Croatian words spray painted on the walls of the church. He betrayed those same Serbs when the Croats (with the aid of 15 retired American Generals from MPRI) ethnically cleansed 250,000 Serbs from Croatia in 1995 from land on which they have lived for centuries, the single largest "ethnic cleansing" of these 1990's Balkan Civil Wars. General Wesley Clark said at the time, "At least this cleansing defines the map."
McCain never mentions the name Lance Sijan, the Serb prisoner of war who shared a prison cell in Vietnam at the "Hanoi Hilton" with John McCain. Sijan was the first person at the Air Force Academy to be awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor which pissed McCain off BIG TIME as he thought he deserved that recognition. A building at the Air Force academy is named for this war hero who escaped from the Vietcong in spite of his broken hip, while McCain was spilling his guts to stay alive. The Vietcong placed Sijan in a bamboo cage the size of a coffin to restrain him... that cage became his tomb.
During his violent ejection from his downed aircraft and very rough parachute landing on the karst ridge, Sijan suffered a fractured skull, a mangled right hand, and a compound fracture of the left leg. He was without food, water, and no survival kit; nevertheless, he evaded enemy forces for 46 days. During this entire period, Sijan was only able to move by sliding on his buttocks and back along the rocky limestone ridge and later along the jungle floor. After managing to move several thousand feet, Sijan crawled onto a truck road along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, where he was finally captured by the North Vietnamese on Christmas Day, 1967. Very emaciated and in poor health, Sijan was imprisoned in an NVA camp. Soon thereafter, he managed to incapacitate a guard and escape into the jungle, but was recaptured several hours later.
Sijan was transported to a holding compound in Vinh, North Vietnam, where he was placed in the care of two other recently captured POWs, Air Force Major Robert R. Craner and Air Force Captain Guy Gruters. Although in terrific pain from his severe wounds and brutal beatings and torture from his captors, Sijan had not disclosed any information other than what the Geneva Convention guidelines allowed (name, date of birth, service, rank, and service number). Suffering terribly from exhaustion, malnutrition, and disease, he was soon transported to Hanoi, under the attentive care of both Craner and Gruters. However, in his weakened state, he contracted pneumonia and died in Hỏa Lò Prison(better known as the "Hanoi Hilton") on January 22, 1968.
First Lieutenant Sijan was promoted posthumously to captain Sijan on June 13, 1968. His remains were repatriated on March 13, 1974, and were positively identified on April 22, 1974. He was buried with military honors in Arlington Park Cemetery in Milwaukee. His former cellmate USAF Colonel Craner recommended him for the Medal of Honor, with supporting testimony provided by his other fellow cellmate, USAF Captain Gruters. Sijan received the Medal Of Honor posthumously in 1976, with his parents (Sylvester and Jane Sijan) receiving it on his behalf on March 4, 1976, from President Gerald R. Ford.
Senator McCain a staunch anti-communist never mentioned the fact the Serbs forced the resignation of the entire central committee of the communist party in the 1989, a first in any communist country. McCain also conveniently ignored Milovan Djilas, awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Johnson for writing New Class, the first anti-communist manifesto written in this century. Djilas spent 12 years in the communist prison for writing that book.
Orthodox Christians who number 280 million in the world represent the 4th largest Christian faiths in the United States. Senator McCain totally ignored the 1.2 million Serbian-Americans, but the Russians, Greeks, Romanians, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Syrians and Coptic Orthodox Christians made damned sure McCain never reaches the White House in spite of his two attempts at the presidency.
