What's so heroic about being shot down while bombing a "heavily populated" (McCain's own words) area of Hanoi? They had to shoot him down, he was bombing civilians! What would you or you or you doing if it was your home and your children that were being bombed and the bomber fell into a lake where you could get your hands on him or her? John McCain served his country in a war of near-genocide against the Vietnamese, who never attacked our country...well, I could go on. I just think we need to do it carefully, but do it at all costs: bust this Hero-POW miracle-bubble that McCain has enveloped himself within.
