So, I'm wondering how 5 years as a POW makes one a 'hero' let alone qualify him for POTUS. I thought 'heroes' either killed or captured the enemy, not were captured by them.
That Skyhawk he flew? It dropped BOMBS, not chinese fortune cookies. Not everyone that contributes to killing the enemy does so first hand - the air-to-air tankers, the jamming birds, the search and rescue guys, the photo joes, even the guy that washes the pots in the galley all have a hand in putting the trigger-pullers and bomb droppers in position.
McCain reminds me of 'did you know I was in Vietnam'? Kerry.
Try "I was ordered into Cambodia by Richard Nixon a year before Richard Nixon took office" Kerry, & see if the comparison still holds...
My dad had a boatload of military medals I never knew about until after he died.
He was a hero.
Tru dat.

McCain is an opportunist.

That is an "opinion" - and being an "oppertunist" DOESN'T mean you AREN'T a hero - see Boyington, Bong, McGuire, McArthure, Patton, Halsey, Doolittle, Lindberg, Audie Murphy,, Sgt. York, etc, etc, etc....
