John McCain is no war hero. In 1997 on 60 Minutes John McCain said the following. "I am a war criminal; I bombed innocent women and children". 

John McCain and the American pilots like him that flew countless missions over North Vietnam rained down death on civilians and hundreds of thousands of them died. Including many children. I can't imagine why the North Vietamese would have been upset at US pilots, go figure. We torture people now for being born in a certain country and for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I can only imagine what we would do to pilots that bombed Phoenix and killed thousands of innocent women and children.

They didn’t have to be there. They didn’t have to go. The true heroes in America were the men and women that went to jail or Canada rather than participate in an immoral and illegal war, let alone the killing of innocent people that never attacked us. McCain thinks the Vietnam war was an honorable and justifiable undertaking. It was anything but.
