So were a lot of other people who haven't spent the rest of their lives undermining the country they were serving.
McCain is a disgrace. There is no getting around that.
Every day he finds a way of disgracing himself a little more.
So. What's you're point? Anyone else in the same situation I'd call a hero, too.
McCain has a lot to dislike about him--in fact, I think he's done MAJOR damage to our country and the world by financing proto-ISIS rebels in Syria, and we have yet to see all the blowback and repercussions from that. Truly.
But that doesn't change what he did in 'Nam. I'll give you that as an Admiral's son, he was coddled, and maybe that led to, due to his stupidity even, his subsequent shoot down, but I won't disparage his heroics, nevertheless.
