I didn't queston his patriotism OR his heroism..... if you would have read what I wrote, I asked WHAT HE DID that was heroic. I have NEVER heard the story of how he got that reputation. Do you know?
He stayed alive in 7 years as POW at the Hanoi Hilton which is more than I could do,but he did nothing like save lives or anything you would normally attribute to heroism. Most of us can agree he deserves some degree of respect,but most days he acts like he is superior to everyone and he is nasty and seems to be playing with the dems and pubbies. I will never forget the look on the well known female reporter's face when he lashed out at her.
". I have NEVER heard the story of how he got that reputation. Do you know?"
He crashed his plane on one of his only missions. I recall he never faced enemy fire but not sure about that. His daddy was an Admiral and the commies knew it. It is rumored (only) that he received some special treatment. A couple of his contemporaries have not been kind in their comments.
In any event, he is a raging head case, not to be trusted.
