I think of war heroes as those that save others soldiers lives, or give their lives doing so, or are key to winning great battles.
Now McCain was captured and survived torture. He saved his own life. He’s a war survivor. Does that make him a hero? I’ve never thought of him as one in the above sense.

What I could tell you about McCain would get me banned from this board. Suffice to say, I don't think Trump was much off the mark.

That’s your opinion. I simply said sometimes being captured is unavoidable.

McCain served his country and suffered while doing that.

McCain is a low life scum of a politician.
