“While I did not get shot down, I did serve during Viet Nam. I did as much as McCain did and I do not in any way consider myself a hero.”
First of all, You ARE a hero! I understand your humility prevents you from bragging, but you are.
I was formerly active duty Army Infantry but I never served in combat. When live rounds are coming down range it takes “great courage” to continue to do your job. Both you and McCain deserve respect. Thats all Im saying.
Everything else, about McCain is fair game (and Lord knows completely accurate), but maybe there are certain things we shouldnt say about those who put themselves under fire, for their country.
