As a military child, McCain was moved from school to school until high school, where despite getting into trouble, he graduated in 1954. He went on to study at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., before being sent to Vietnam.

    20 hours in combat 23 combat missions , 5 1/2 years as a POW. How does that make McCain a war hero?

  3. Rick Friedlander | October 25, 2008 at 11:51 am |

    The fact that he refused to leave the Hanoi Hilton because there were fellow prisoners there longer than him, and endure more torture, makes him a hero in my eyes.

    Many other POWs were offered early release and refused.

    AnotherfPOW and mccain classmate at USNA said

    What McCain glosses over is that accepting early release would have required him to make disloyal statements that would have violated the military’s Code of Conduct. If he had done so, he could have risked court-martial and an ignominious end to his military career. “Many of us were given this offer,” according to Butler, McCain’s classmate who was also taken prisoner. “It meant speaking out against your country and lying about your treatment to the press. You had to ‘admit’ that the U.S. was criminal and that their treatment was ‘lenient and humane.’ So numerous others, refused the offer.

    How can you find fault or anything wrong with someone who seved his country and was a POW for 5 years. I don’t care who you suuport or what you think. You are an ignorant moron to think that sacrifices like that aren’t heroic no matter who made the sacrifice. You sir need a hobby and a life.
