The elaborate nature of John McCain's memorial services, including transport via Air Force Two, drew scrutiny regarding the planning process and military involvement. Some analysts viewed the ceremonies as a deliberate political rebuke of Donald Trump following his past comments about McCain's military service. Speculation also surfaced regarding whether the events were intended to bolster a future political run for Cindy McCain.

A scandal has emerged regarding military "arrival ceremonies" for remains from Vietnam and WWII. Reports indicate that the coffins used in these televised ceremonies are often empty, and the planes are dragged into position on the tarmac rather than having just landed. The hosts suggest this "big lie" is used for public relations and speculate that the ban on photographing coffins might be related to logistical inconsistencies or the smuggling of illicit goods.

Adam Curry describes witnessing a somber ceremony at the Austin airport where a fallen soldier's coffin was removed from a plane. He details the "water bridge" created by fire trucks and the grief of the family on the tarmac. Curry notes that the mainstream media rarely televises these homecomings, which he argues is a deliberate choice to shield the public from the reality of war.
