As for the war hero crap. We gave him his due, now do we have to keep playing that freaking game for the rest of his life?
Why so bitter?
I never thought that I would see anyone on this site put the words “war hero” and “crap” together, for any reason.
OK, crap was a bad word. Let’s use garbage instead. John McCain was a POW. Repeat POW. And if you read the seminal book “P.O.W.” very little was written about him, but much was made of others who are now long forgotten. Which reminds me, when General Jonathan Wainright returned from captivity he was met by MacArthur. Wainright, who was a walking stick-figure was ashamed, and felt that he had let his commander down. MacArthur embraced him and told him that his surrender was no disgrace. Wainright was a great man. He never sought the use of “hero”, and actually eschewed it. Now that was heoism.
