Pretty shameful how NBC smears a triple amputee purple heart recipient and tries to imply his gofundme is a scam. I think they have hit a new low. I don't even want to post that article headline because it is total bs but the TOS requires it.

What he is a actual person and not a machine?

Brian Kolfage is nothing short of amazing, as is his wife.  Brian has worked with Pat Tillman and others to help wounded vets.  HIs story is worth reading (or watching, if you like movies).

Reading that article made me upset. Any news outlet who would smear a war hero like that shouldn't even be considered a legitimate news source. That's just my view though. The way they are trying to imply he is running a scam I wonder if he would have a defamation lawsuit against them. I like his idea though I don't think he will reach his goal of $1 billion. I wasn't going to give any money (mostly because I'm broke from Christmas shopping) but now I think I will.

Trump smeared McCain so he shouldn’t be considered a legitimate President?

Only difference is McCain did some pretty bad things. I'll stop there because I don't wish to speak ill of the dead. Do you defend the shameful garbage NBC wrote about this war hero?

How about McCain’s military service?  Anything bad about that? Was it classy what Trump said about it? Seems like you have a double standard.

Your beloved Trump trash talked a man who gave much for his country. Shameful.

His military service was spotty, from the little I know. But as someone else said, he's dead, and his mistakes should rest with him.

 Didn’t get shot down and wasn’t he a POW?

Draw your own conclusions.  But I've heard it said that were it not for hi as father and grandfather, he would have been kicked out for his failures and damage to multiple aircraft.

Good. Then we agree what NBC did is indefensible.

And there are also many articles showing him as a hero.
