Why are you pandering to McCain's vietnam involvement?
He wasn't a "hero". He didn't volunteer to be captured and
held POW, it was simply an unexpected cir***stance he managed to
survive, like some survivors of Rwanda, Darfur, Bosnia, etc.
Surviving doesn't make one a hero, expecially considering that
the survivor was one of those participating in the War Crimes/Crimes
Against humanity in the first place.

Almost as naseaus as you asserting any "heroism" to a participant
in an belligerant attack, invasion and destruction of a smaller, weaker
and poorer sovereign nation.
