Advertisement New and Improved CommentsWe are launching a major overhaul of our comments section. In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread. Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts. Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with. Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page. |

Douglas you hit the nail on the head!
When you see McCain, in his political ads, as the long suffering hero you have to think back to the reason he was a POW. He was shot down dropping napalm on “suspected” villages killing untold thousands of men, women and children, or as the military calls them, collateral damage.
What would we Americans do if a pilot was turning our neighbors into charcoal? We would shoot him down…and if he was captured, we would send him to Gitmo to spend the next several years, just as they did to McCain.
In the eyes of those whose nation had been bombed to hell and back…John McCain was a terrorist.

Oh, “I’m a Vietnam war hero”??? I don’t think so. Killing Vietnamese in their own country was not the action of any kind of ‘hero’.
What is more, it was known in Vietnam as “the American war”. Don’t forget that. And the only real “Vietnam war heros” I ever met were all Vietnamese, uhh.
