McCain did risk his life in the air over North Vietnam and suffered years of Communist hell.
I don’t care for his politics, but he did put his life on the line for his country five decades ago.
I’m fine with his wish.
Well, McCain was one of the very few Cold War aces: He got shot down in, burned up, crashed, ejected from or destroyed five enemy (er, US Navy) planes during his “career” flying his daddy’s and grandfather’s name.
