Interesting....and he's correct, he's not currently a hero, was never a hero to begin with, and will never be one. But he sure didn't mind riding that media driven horse for decades.

and profiting mightily off of it.
McCain also refused early release off cue of other POW's
He is a humble man. Considering while being tortured his arm was permanently disabled by a technique used by vietnamese where they suspended prisoners from the cieling of cells.

I've heard that he rather verbally abusive to folks around him, such as his staff. he is known for losing his temper. That doesn't sound humble to me, he sounds like a bully.

He told me McCain was a brown noser who would be up the * of anyone that could help him advance. I knew some LT's and LCDR's like that so I knew exactly what he meant. He would step on anyone that couldn't hurt him to get to the top.
No harm in that really, it just makes a man a pariah among his shipmates.
Anyway, he parlayed his experience in Vietnam to where he is now.
I wouldn't call him a hero per se as he did his job like a man is supposed to.
I will call Trump a son of a * for devaluing McCain's contribution since Trump never had the balls to pick up a rifle and man a post for this country.
He certainly does deserve respect for his sacrifice, though.

I've worked in a few places, in fact quite a few. In 95% of them there was a verbally abusive person who sometimes yelled and lost his of her temper. That person was called the boss.
I'm a MAVERICK, dammit!
He didn't age very well..
