I have always been puzzled by this "hero" claim...how are you a hero if you get shot down, and captured?

Aren't heroes the ones who swoop in and rescue or save the lives of hundreds of fellow soldiers or friendly civilians?

I hear McCain't was shot down, or crashed, more than one time.

I guess if he was tortured and refused to divulge information, it's somewhat heroic.

But a full fledged Hero?

I don't know... are those who fought this nation's wars and were never wounded heros? Of course they are.

I think that you are splitting some mighty fine hairs.

But a full fledged Hero?

Understandable position(in fact one I hold myself), however, that being said, is it appropriate, or even honorable to attack his service.
