If McCain is the only person you listen to you may think he is a hero. He will tell you that time and time again. When you look at the facts though you find a different story. He gave the cong all the information he had that they wanted. He was given preferential treatment for the information.
What makes anyone think he is a hero? A hero is someone who does something courageous willingly. He was shot down, but that does not make him a hero. He did not willingly get shot down. After being shot down he did nothing remotely courageous.

I've lloked at those website in question and looks to me like they're just there because they have differences in political opinion and would like to shit on his military record just because of that. I never said he was a hero, but they don't give those Bronze and Silver Stars like candy. I just said you can't call him cowardly. Especially by people here who haven't served. Being here long enough I've noticed that very few members of this site actually served and yet they comment on things they don't understand, but then again it's a free country and anyone can talk shit about anyone. I don't care if his father was an Admiral. I told you that he was offered to get released early and he refused. I bet you also think that the prisoners who were with him including a current Senator thought he was an s-bag.
