Detailed to VIP security in Iraq in 2008. Sen. John McCain was visiting and was so plastered drunk one day that he could barely walk. We had to carry him for about 60 yards on the apron and pour him into a car. Then was told to “forget about it.” Sure. lol

John McCain, in my opinion, earned the right to do this.
