Would you mind going over that with me? I am kinda fuzzy on what makes McCain a hero? I flew in combat, was not shot down and was never taken prisoner. I do not consider myself a hero. Scott O'Grady was shot down but was not taken prisoner. He is not a hero either. McCain endured horrendous suffering at the Hanoi Hilton, but hundreds of others did as well. The media is not calling them heroes, though I would like to hear from them. McCain himself said he is not a hero.
Thank you for your service.
