American by birth, volunteered for military service, served as a Carrier pilot, spent time as a POW, badly injured serving, refused early release (despite injuries) lest it be used as propaganda against his country, forsakes lucrative commercial employment to serve his country in government, runs for President when most people his age want to devote their lives to themselves, and, right or wrong, says what he thinks whether the audience likes it or not.
If McCain falls short of qualifying as "a real American" you guys are a pretty exclusive club.
