I heard both sides of that issue, you think you heard both sides of the McCain story, I think you didn't.
Eye witness testimony must be supported by facts, McCains character does not fit with anything that describes hims as heroic. Hey I could be wrong if so shame on me, but everything that we can see of McCain publicly does not fit with Honor and Courage. You insist on judging him by events that you only know about second hand. I believe he is every bit as much a hero as John Kerry, who served in Vietnam lest we forget.
In a fit of an irrational temper tantrum, McCain pressed the attack and got shot down
