Which is to say, the main driver of McCain's heroism was not the fact of his capture, it's how he comported himself under circumstances more trying than 99.9% of us could imagine, let alone endure.

Sorry Matt ol' pal.

What a 'hero' is is a highly subjective thing.

I'll continue to think for myself, thanks. I will not jump on your bandwagon.

McCain is a survivor. But then I’ve always thought of McCain as dumb as a bag of rocks and a human wrecking ball of the republican party.

I find it most instructive how the 2008 GOP Candidate was mocked by the liberal press for his Nationalism (stopping his campaign for the 2008 financial crisis Senate votes) yet is now praised when the threat to their ‘Dear Leader’ Obama is passed.

And has done zero in public office ever since and called the Republican base crazies. IMO F McCain.
His prior service was admirable but has nothing to do after his incarceration with his future performance in office.

Trump’s Dismissal of McCain’s Heroism Shows Lack of Judgment and Decency, And Is Also Dead Wrong

That would be just terrible if it were true.

Amazing how the same people who trashed Trump for his immigration statements now love InSain. What are the odds?

What he’s done to our country in the Senate has sadly negated all of that

It’s amazing to me how some really lousy political leaders can become heroic icons to the masses due the manner of their deaths, and others can become heroes by being captured by an enemy, and then there are those who boldly go where others have already gone, but their names make them heroes in the eyes of at least the media.

Hero is one of several words in the English language deserving of the most abused award.

I see matt is keeping the false narrative alive. The occupation media must be eradicated with prejudice.

Boy, I hate to say anything that might make me out to sound like Donald Trump so hopefully I will choose my words more carefully The Donald did.

That being said, here goes. I wish Sen. McCainez had as much concern for his fellow citizens as he did for his fellow prisoners.

I'm not questioning or doubting his resilience in the face of daily beatings and other degradations but he sure seems to be rather thin-skinned since then.

Okay. Commence flaming.

How did he comport himself when he abandoned the POWs left behind and sealed the postwar investigative records?

Did someone contact you with the old carrot and stick routine to get you to post this half-hearted defence of that nasty guy? Or are you merely defending you book? It doesn’t really matter, in any event you are defending the indefensible.

Is it just me or does it seem like there has been more outrage expressed over Donald Trump’s comments about El Recto, Juan McCainez, than there has been about the cold-blooded murders of 4 Marines in Chatanooga, Tennessee?

I'd bet Matt that trump was right McCain collaborated and screwed other POW’s and MIA’s, but he'd Welch when I won.

If Reason wasn’t so HELL-BENT with turning our freeways into toll roads, I might take them seriously when they try to come to the defense of the most anti-American Republican to ever step foot into the US Senate.

But since they won’t leave me alone when I drive, I won’t bother believing a damn thing they say.
