I don't know about you but I'm sick of hearing of McCain referred to as a "hero"

[book_worm]

It seems to me that the media throws the "hero" word around loosely. To me, and I'm a little old fashioned, but I consider a hero the firefighter who saves a baby from a burning building or the person who jumps into a body of water to save somebody who is drowning or a person of science who develops a cure to some devastating disease (Sauk was a hero, to me). John McCain was a pilot who got shot down and spent five years as a pow. That's sad but it's also one of the consequences of war. I don't see anything particularly heroic about it--and I know it's probably blaspheme to say it.

1. Me too. I'll give him survivor.

Hero.............not so much.

2. What's really sad is that he knows the consequences of war, yet he thinks nothing of attacking...

...innocent countries and putting our troops in harms way for oil.

The man is garbage in my book.
