McStupid was NO WAR HERO; being an incompetent pilot then a prisoner does not make one a hero!
And this is exactly the kind of spirit that will cause any attempted third party to pick itself apart.
Been saying that for years. Met a guy who was in his class at the USNA. McCain was third from the bottom in that class and the joke was all you had to do to graduate was finish ahead of McCain on the order of merit list. That class had the record for fewest number of Midshipmen dismissed for performance; EVER!!!
The only reason he got in was because his dad and granddad were Admirals. It's also the only reason he was selected for pilot training.
