THEN, instead of going home with his air group aboard Forrestal (the
carrier was out of commission and headed home for repairs along with
its air groups), McCain volunteered to go aboard Oriskany and continue
his sorties over NVN. THAT is what a true hero would do, not run home
with 3 phony PHs like your hero.

You're as goofy as McCain. Volunteering for combat isn't heroic,
it's incredibly poor judgment. Not to mention juvenile. A *TRUE*
hero takes one look at that monumental disaster known as Vietnam
and gets the hell out of there as quickly as possible to go home
and fight against the war.

The things that pass for heroes I just don't understand.
