Just like history’s other notable hero, he WAS a hero and IS not a hero today. Just as the person credited with the capture of Fort Ticonderoga and the Battle of Saratoga, He WAS a hero then but IS not a hero today. Benedict Arnold.
Are you seriously trying to equate John McCain's record in Vietnam with all the truly heroic things Benedict Arnold did while still on our side?
The comparison with Benedict Arnold is close except Arnold was a real war hero and the Revolution was really a civil war. I think Arnold betrayed the Colonials, but was not, in a real sense, a traitor. He was a turn-coat. McCain actions, if the accusations of his collaboration while a POW are true, could rise to treason...worse than Jane Fonda’s stupid actions.
