    Oof. MC Cain was a vet and a pow. Hero is a bit far. He got shot down on a mission he wasn’t supposed to be on, in a plane any other pilot wouldn’t have been allowed near after crashing 3 prior to that and his demand was only possible because his daddy got put in charge of Vietnam after he was captured and told the enemy his dad was in charge.

    It’s like one of those rare times where nepotism and ego actually worked out ok.

        No that’s a political ploy and apparently one you bought and regardless we’re talking about his military career.

        That’s not heroic that doesnt even imply he’s a decent person just less shitty then the one before.

        You can bend over backwards to call the guy a hero but you’re going to have to chop that definition down until your cashier is a hero because they didn’t steal your change.
