He's right, and the definition of war hero was changed for Vietnam because reporting on the war was so negative and dishonest that the true combat heroes of that war never got the attention and publicicity they should have.
So, the country had a big celebration when the POWs were returned from North Vietnam and many began to view them as heroes.
Can anyone name POW war heroes from WWII or WWI or Korea? But those who know some history could name some combat war heroes, especially from WWI and WWII.
What Trump said is totally true, but not a wise thing to say.
