John McCain is deified by the MSM as a "war hero". He is emphatically not a "war hero". He was shot down -essentially failed at his mission - was imprisoned, and tortured by North Vietnamese captors. Sort of like we do at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, right? Wrong.

I fail to see why the term "hero" should be used in conjunction with McCain. Many, many men endured the same as McCain during that time, yet none have been accorded "hero" status. McCain is a charlatan, a made-for-TV concoction of democrats, left-wing media sycophants and mouthpieces for their political purposes. And McCain has no shame in accepting this adulation. Sorry indeed.
