Anyway, that makes him a hero; like all the other guys who were locked up over there.
Friend of mine was, but he says he's not qualified or interested in being the President so he didn't run. He says he's not a hero, just came out on the short end of a fire-fight and was lucky to live to tell about it. He gets pissed if people persist in calling him a hero when he tells them he's not - says he didn't go above and beyond the call of duty - like McCain did.
I have NO idea what McCain did that went above and beyond the call of duty.
Anybody? Anybody?

Lets see. He was the son of a Navy Admiral.
He was in captivity for five years and refused early release if he cooperated.
He got "SPECIAL TREATMENT" because of his father's status.
He didn't rat his friends out.
He stands on what he believes is the right thing even if his party may not agree with him.
He flew jets into combat.
He puts up with opinions of those that have no clue what special treatment is.
Does that cut it for you.
