The left spit on Vietnam War era vets, so NOW they are all heros? Interesting.

I get what Trump was trying to say, McCain didn’t earn hero status for bravery on the battle front. He didn’t save lives of his fellow soldiers. His plane crashed and he was captured. His heroism comes from enduring the prisoner of war camp. I just don’t see the big deal.

He DID earn hero status for bravery on the front. Flying through the toughest air defense in the world, and landing on a carrier many times. He DID save lives of his fellow Soldiers, being a leader, rendering medical aid to those in his cell. AND WHEN HE WAS OFFERED TO BE SENT HOME TO THE USA...HE SAID NO AND STAYED...TO BE TORTURED FOR YEARS.
