Every man or woman who serves in the military, and, especially, all those who are killed or injured during their service, is just as much if not more than a hero as John McCain.

I just do not see the accident that John McCain happened to spend time in a North Vietnamese prison camp as being more heroic than the service of the others. I wish he had not spent time there. I wish we had left that war earlier, but all the men and women who served there are equally heroes. In fact, any man or woman who volunteers or is drafted into military service is a hero. They do not know when they join where they will be sent or what will happen to them.
