John McCain is one of our finest heroes still living, I admire him and hope he lives to be 100. He is such a kind, gracious, gentleman in an age where there aren't many of his kind left. Our soldiers that fought in Vietnam were sneered at, treated like second class citizens and murderers when they came home, it is time we treat them like the heroes they are. GOD BLESS THEM ALL. Peg Beth,

The fact that you can compare the Hanoi Hilton to Abu Ghraib or Gitmo is beyond believe. If you don't understand the difference, I don't think its possible to explain it to you. And if you don't understand the heroism involved in sacrificing your youth or your life for your country, then there is no point in even trying to discuss it. Beth Marilyn,

What makes them heroes might I ask? Dropping bombs from thousands of feet in the air is the most gutless way on earth to fight a so-called war. Don't you see that the man lied to the whole world? He said he was so tortured he couldn't walk or raise his arms, yet here he is as fit as a flea. Compare that to the state of the prisoners murdered by the US in every war they ever went into - think My Lai for one. Gitmo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram airbase, renditions, torture flights and so on. I would have killed McCain if I was a Vietnamese citizen that he was about to bomb. So I repeat, why do you call this lying war criminal a hero? these so called heroes were murdering innocent people based on the lies of the Bay of Tonkin attack. What makes them heroes might I ask?
