Good evening.
"John McCain was a war hero."

What makes one a war hero? Plenty of soldiers do their duty and some go beyond duty. This weekend is supposed to honor those that gave it all.

The two Delta Force troopies that willingly gave their lives to try to save the downed Blackhawk crews in Mogadishu were certainly heroes.

Any warrior who gives his life for his brothers fits the bill, as does any soldier who tries to complete the mission even when there is no hope of success.

There have been many brave POWs who charlie miked even in the face of torture, sickness and despair and never gave up. They are damned sure heroes.

Does just serving make you one, no matter how brave you are? Do medals make you a hero? john kerry has those.

How about Murtha and kerry's buddy, Max Cleland?

McCain is labeled a hero and we are supposed to overlook the harm he does us because of it. Should we?
