We need to think about what it means to be a hero too. There is significance to actually being a war hero. All vets should be respected and greatly esteemed for their service, but only a few men who distinguish themselves in battle or save their follows in battle should be honored with the title. I can’t possibly imagine what it is like to go through being s POW. I have heard that McCain collaborated with the enemy. He should not be punished or shamed for it, but neither should he be lauded as a hero.
Good post. Thanks.
