All you need to know about John McCain:
One more thing you should know: he was bombing civilian infrastructure in Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam, a country that had done nothing to him or his country, when he was shot down and taken prisoner in 1967.
There's a big difference between "hero" and "war hero."

I didn't know that McCain gave himself the orders to bomb Hanoi. What I wanna say: I don't know wether McCain is a war hero or not - I even do not know what a war hero is at all - but one should be careful to blame somebody for things he simply cannot prevent.
McCain may not have given the orders, but he chose to put himself in the position to receive them, and he accepted them. You can't blame the atrocities of war solely on the men giving the orders; someone has to pull the trigger.
One can refuse to follow an immoral order. In fact, one must refuse. Read Leonard Read's "Conscience on the Battlefield."
