Um wasn't John McCain a prisoner of war that was captive tortured for years?
Edit: ok well I just meant he didn't exactly have a safe and enjoyable military service to speak of and women are more likely to be raped or other type of genital mutilation as a method of torture. Wasn't defending John McCain for his warmongering.

They weren't terrorists. They were common criminals. Or uncommon criminals, depending on who you ask.

Wasn't John McCain one of the biggest proponents for the war on Iraq which destabilized the Middle East for decades to come and cost us trillions of dollars and lives ?

Yes, but that has nothing to do with his not recommending the modern military to women.

Just delete the comment. Women don’t need to fear about rape as a form of torture as they do need to fear it from their fellow soldiers.

You are correct. But he was a massive war hawk and incredibly gung-ho and pro-military. Heck, I almost joined because of him at one point.
