I completely agree with where you're coming from.suthdj wrote:To be a hero you need to do something heroic. Jusr serving does not make a hero and yes I served but not in war. Calling all who serve a hero in like giving participate trophies.
We use hero so often now it's been completely watered down and lost almost all meaning. Anybody in the military is a hero. All cops are heroes. Teachers are heroes. Homosexuals that come out publicly are heroes. Any kid that wins (or loses) a Little League ball game is a hero.
While I can understand the sentiment, but I think real Heroism takes a deliberate act of self sacrifice to save others. Audi Murphy is a Hero. Richard Winters is a Hero. Chris Kyle is a Hero. I think McCain is a step below those guys but that's just my opinion and I don't mean to discredit his service.
That said, a draft dodger like trump has no right to judge McCain ever.
