McCain is a hero for serving his Country, does that make Reverend Jeremiah Wright a hero?

Question

He was a military doctor and saved soldiers during the Vietnam conflict!

Answer 1

He was a Corpsman (not a Medical Officer), on his second enlistment (meaning he stayed in longer than required, he was a Marine before that), so I say he was yes (I think he was a Corpsman at Bethesda though, not in the field, still VERY admirable).  And he is free to say whatever he wants about people like me and the U.S., I just don't want him advising the President.

Answer 2

Point is? Who was the one teaching 'we should not be singing 'God Bless America' but 'God D*** America'?

Is it Rev. Wright?

*ding*ding* We have a winner.

Answer 3

Wright was a corpsman in the service

after he got out he hooked up with the anti zionist Farrakhan

Wright aint no hero

just another putz looking for an agenda and an audience

oh and he's also looking for staff for his 26 room Mansion

that was probably paid for with Grants from the US Government

(tax payer dollar)

Answer 4

Just ask the families of the soldiers' whose lives he saved.  I'd certainly say those were heroic acts.  

Answer 5

You have some sort of link to back this up??????

Answer 6

He did NOT serve in Vietnam. He served as a Doctor but never in a conflict.

Answer 7

Depends on what he did.  Likely no.

Answer 8

Serving in the military may or may not make you a hero.  I believe that most people who have issues with Wright have them because of his current beliefs and outbursts, which pretty much overshadow his service.

Answer 9

Yes, our veterans should be honored for their service to this country, whether or not a person disagrees with his theology.  Our troops are more important than creed or religious differences.

Answer 10

Reverend Jeremiah Wright isn't running for President and even then he wouldn't have the qualifications to be President.

Besides I think Rev. Wright served a total of 4 years if that. 4 years amounts to one term he didn't resign up

Like Obama doesn't have the qualifications to be President.

Plus he made it very clear his a racist like Obama.

Obama did what 1 term Sen. wrote a few books gave a nice speech in 2004?

Vote McCain the only choice.

Answer 11

Hero?

Answer 12

Nope sorry, all the hate he spewed in his church negates any good he did during Vietnam since he obviously wasn't doing it for his country. Is John Kerry a hero after coming back and giving treasonous speeched to Congress. Nope, sorry.

Answer 13

It is ridiculous to insiuate that John McCain, A WAR HERO, has anything in common with Jeremiah Wright (...who, by the way, is also a war hero).  

Answer 14

doctor? check your source.  then check it again.  if it still says Jeremiah Wright was an M.D> in the service, then get another source.  He went to the service right out of high school.  He never went to med school.

Answer 15

Reverend Wright would deny it, but yes, he is a hero to me for what he did for this country.

That being said, I can not condone they way he worded his displeasure.

To placate those who would think otherwise; remember, Benedict Arnold was a hero before he was a traitor, and indeed, if one general from the Revolutionary War made a difference to help the USA, it was him.

Answer 16

IF this is true, and only if, I would say that Wright did a good thing once.  But the difference is what they have done SINCE the Vietnam War.  Rev. Wright became a leftist nut job with a conspiracy theory who apparently hates America-- remember him shouting "GD AMERICA" form the altar of his "church"??  Meanhwile, McCain has never stopped serving and loving his country.  "GOD BLESS AMERICA"  Big difference.  Huge.  McCain is a hero, Wright is a zero.

Answer 17

I don't think either of them did anything heroic.  I was in the service myself and never did anything more heroic than salute the officers.
