My definition of a war hero is...
Extra ordinary bravery in war such as what Audie Murphy did.
-or- sacrificing your life to save others such as when a soldier throws his body on a live grenade to save his comrades.
McCain did none of the above. Actually the Vietnamese clled him a “SONGBIRD” because he started telling them everything they wanted to know soon after capture.
So you believe the words of communist NVA concentration camp guards? And if he was such a “songbird,” why did they feel the need to torture him for six years?
