Agreed

The hero designation is one which all servicemen deserve, as they are willing to risk their lives for their country.
Being captured by the enemy is the same in spirit as getting a leg blown off or getting killed....and I guess Trump,Al Franken , and some Freepers could say those who died for their country were not heroes, they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time

In short any fool willing to say McCaine or anyone who was a POW is not a hero is full of it ands its a very sad day to watch FR go down this path

Being willing does not make you a hero. Not every uniformed service member is a hero. Same for cops, firefighters, etc. if willingness is the criteria for heroship then who isn’t a hero?

I know any service people who enlisted for no other reason than a paycheck and college benefits. They served 3 years and for out. Some of them never left our state except for basic. Are they Heros?
