Especially when he was being compared to Kerry who while they were being tortured and earning real purple hearts, was in Paris negotiation with North Vietnam.
You said he was famous for it--as if it was something beyond the call of duty and something others did not do, which simply was not the case. Your post:
"As to McCain being famous because he was shot down. NO that is not why, it is because he was given an out, one that even Bud Day said he could have taken, but refused the chance to come home early."He followed orders.
As to John Kerry, I don't hold him as a standard. But I think McCain singing to the communists, giving them military secrets, and making two dozen propaganda tapes for our enemy, probably trumps the Paris talks.
McCain served... he was shot down... he survived. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But his record couldn't hold a candle to that of Bud Day.
