I would like to point out unless I have missed it McCain like pretty much all soldiers has never called himself a hero that is what others call him and his fellow POW. Just my personal opinion any man who fights to survive and continues to endure that pain and suffering when giving up and succumbing to death seems preferable is a hero.
Then all men who survive wars are heroes? Then what of those who sacrificed their lives in war, are they heroes too?
I guess everyone remotely involved in a war is a hero then?
So what does the word 'hero' really mean? To some degree all veterans are heroes, if they serve honorably, but not all who serve are Audy Murphy either.
