Senator John McCain has passed

Yes, correct. The Valkyries took half of those who died an honorable death (usually meant in battle) and took them to Valhalla, they took the other half of this group to Fólkvangur.

Diseased or old people did not have a chance to go there sadly.

It even explicitly says so in Gylfaginning which here we all have to study. Diseased or old people go to (since you wanna talk in Norse) Hel. I just translated it to Hell since Hel is also the name of the goddess who rules in Hel.

"að hún [Hel] skipti öllum vistum með þeim er til hennar voru sendir, það eru sóttdauðir menn og ellidauðir. " You can translate this if you want. Chapter 34, Gylfaginning, Prose Edda.

And yes, Hel is different but not really very different. It's still not a pleasant place. Her hall is literally called Wetsnowhall (Éljúðnir), her plate is called Hunger (Hungur) and her knife is called Starvation (Sultur). She has 2 slaves called Ganglati and Ganglöt aka male and female words/name(Not sure what its called) for Slowmover.

Sounds pretty bad, no hellflames or some priest whipping you for your sins though.

I'm just tired of Americans raping my culture after watching too much Marvel. I don't even have an opinion on McCain.

None of this is real though so I dont see why you are so offended.
