[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  I am a veteran and know of no other veteran who would ever call John McCain anything but a hero in his service and sacrifice during Viet Nam.  [/quote]

He's not a hero. Heroism involves doing things above and beyond the call of duty. He did nothing of the sort, even as a POW.[/quote]

When and where did you serve, PP?  [/quote]

And which prison camp did you spend years in? [/quote]

You don't need to spend time in a camp to know that the military has a code of conduct for prisoners of war. Those who follow the code are not "heroes". They are doing what is expected of them. The military also defines heroism as doing something [i]above and beyond the call of duty[/i]. McCain did nothing of the sort in Vietnam.

If everyone who serves is a "hero" then "heroism" has no meaning and the military should give the Medal of Honor to everyone.[/quote]tough talk from someone who flew the mail. [/quote]
