Depends on the conservative, but McCain, Dole -- those guys are American legends and deserve respect regardless of their politics.

You're right I missed that, but I think it makes my point better. I was replying to a comment that said "Those guys are American legends and deserve respect regardless of their politics."

I dispute that.

I'm not American. These guys may be American legends but that doesn't mean that they deserve my respect.

There are a lot of legitimate gripes that people around the world can have about someone like McCain and Dole and they don't implicitly deserve respect because they're dead.

If you read the article below, it would seem there was fairly good sentiment from Vietnam as well when McCain passed.

For McCain they view him fairly well (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2018/08/27/how-vietnam-...) and idk for Dole but I'd be surprised if they knew him (he didn't fight in vietnam btw if that's what your implying)
