First off getting shot down is a consequence of facing the enemy in the air, just like getting shot is a consequence of facing them on the battlefield.

He only lost one plane due to enemy fire. The others were due to his incompetence.

McCain's wounds were real and severe.

So were thousands of other American POWs, but most of them did not give up all the information they had in order to get preferential treatment from the cong.

Then he was put into brutal captivity, where he was again treated so badly he sustained permanant injury. His torture included hanging by the arms for so long that to this day he can't move them above his shoulders.

He is the only person who has said this. The other POWs do not concur. After he gave the cong all the information he could he was moved to better quarters.

As for your contention that he gave them all the classified information he could, even if true, so what.

SO WHAT He gave up information that could have put many other Americans at a greater risk.

McCain won: the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, a Bronze Star and the Purple Heart

His father was an Admiral. How else do you think he was able to continue to fly?

I knew John McCain when I lived in AZ. I know he is incompetent and is in NO way qualified to be CIC.
