He valiantly charged into battle. Lets strap you into an A4 over Vietnam in 1966 and see if you defecate on yourself. I might. He may have. He was a hero. Then he became a liberal hand wringing PC politician. That’s pretty much how I see it.
What about McCain hot dogging, flying under some power lines and cut off power to thousands. Was that the second or third plane he crashed?
And what about all the POW’s who were left behind in Vietnam? McCain’s committee was supposed to get to the bottom of it, not cover it up.
And then there is his disabled wife who he abandoned to hook up with the younger, richer current one whose daddy could buy him a senate seat.
That’s not a hero.
