Because he was severly wounded, the N. Vietnamese offered to send McCain home. He refused to go unless his comrades were also released. As a result, he was held in Hanoi for 4 more years. That's genuine heroism, and all of the Americans held with him consider him a hero.

Comparing John McCain to Kerry-the-medal-hunter is absurd and offensive.
