I think anyone who suffered as a result of serving their country, deserves some credit.

It does when you are allowed to leave to fit the enemy propaganda but you refuse to leave because you don't want to be a part of the enemy lies.

Chenmen,

I'll bet if McCain was a liberal democrat you'd consider him a war hero.

Admit that your position in this issue is 100% based on your
political biases.

Does that mean the Vietnamese never used propaganda?

Let's be serious about this. This man chose to stay in a POW camp. Don't just dismiss someone else's viewpoint with simplicity like you have here and don't bring up questions if you're not going to discuss opposing viewpoints.

It's not glorification, it's respect.

Kerry was fine by me too.

Some things are above politics.

The truth about Obama's "community organizer" BS:



In his memoir, Obama says being a community organizer taught him how to motivate the powerless and work the government to help them. His chief example is an effort to remove asbestos from Altgeld Gardens, an all-black public housing project on Chicago’s South Side.



But those who were involved in the effort say Obama played a minor role in working the problem and never accomplished his goal. A pre-existing group at Altgeld Gardens and a local newspaper, the Chicago Reporter, were working on the problem before Obama came on the scene, yet Obama does not mention them in his book, “Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.”



“Just because someone writes it, doesn't make it true,” says Altgeld resident Hazel Johnson, who had been pushing for a cleanup of the cancer-producing substance years before Obama showed up.



Rep. Bobby L. Rush, D-Ill., says it was Johnson's work, along with asbestos testing by the Chicago Reporter, that got Chicago officials interested in the issue. Rush, who launched an inquiry into the situation when he was a member of the Chicago City Council, says he is “offended” that Obama did not mention Johnson in his account.



“Was [Obama] involved in stuff? Absolutely,”says Robert Ginsburg, an activist who worked with Johnson and Obama on the problem. “But there was stuff happening before him, and after him.”



After three years working as an organizer, Obama could say he helped obtain grants for a jobs program and got asbestos removed from some pipes in the project. But as the Los Angeles Times has noted, the “large-scale change that was needed at the 1,998-unit project was beyond his reach.” To this day, most of the asbestos remains in the apartments.

He shouldn't have gotten shot down? By that logic all these kids getting blown up by road side bombs were at fault.
