Yeah, JJ, I agree. On the 'war hero' comment by DT, the word "hero" is the most over used adjective in the English language or maybe second only to 'awesome'.

McCain was captured. In my book that does not qualify as heroic. Unfortunate maybe, but not heroic.

We all can identify true acts of heroism. McCain just doesn't rise to that level IMO. {I am mistaken in these statements, see PRB in post #10 below}
