Am I a War Hero Like John McCain?

Question

In 1968 while valiantly serving my country in the national guard (and avoiding the draft like our president) I was involved in a jeep accident and suffered a broken arm.

McCain was shot down and is now a war hero.

Am I entitled the same status?

Comrade Coleman, War Hero reporting, Sir!

Answer 1

Even I won't go with you on that one, Comrade.  Spending 5-1/2 years in a North Vietnamese prison is no joke.  I know I couldn't have done it.  That experience doesn't make someone qualified to be president, and I won't vote for him for other reasons, but he has my everlasting respect for just surviving the ordeal.

Answer 2

yuh n if i had 5 kidz then i am gong to b your vp

Answer 3

I served in Viet Nam in 1966-67 with the Marine Corps infantry but I'm not a hero, so I don't know why you would think you are.

Answer 4

That depends. Was the jeep accident in a war zone or was it you partying with your whiny liberal brats?

Answer 5

Did you fly 22 missions like McCain.  

Answer 6

....and you were held hostage in an American hospital and tortured?  

Answer 7

And the "war" part of "hero" was where?

Answer 8

Did you destroy 4 more jeeps before you were injured in the one wreck?

Then probably not.

Answer 9

You have about the same qualifications as him to be president now. Why aren't you running, man?

Answer 10

Yes, sir!!! You are indeed a War hero.;-)

Answer 11

No, McCain stole valuable bullets from the enemy.

Answer 12

McCain was awarded the CMH. Where's yours? As a veteran myself, I am not denigrating your service to your country in any way. In fact, I honor it. Why would you try to denigrate McCain's service?
