Why is McCain a hero if we lost the Vietnam war?

Question

and if he cheated on his wife and married someone else he was having an affair with and then cheated on her too!!?!?!

never mind Fox News saying 'what do you expect from someone who was in captivity for 5 years!'

Answer 1

McCain was enduring torture while Obama was smoking crack.  Enough said...

Answer 2

McCain isn't the only Veitnam Vet !

Answer 3

I'll take him over a moron who took his kids to a racist church and then played dumb when caught.  McCain is upfront about his first marriage.  Obama hides a lot of dirt.

Answer 4

He was not responsible for losing in Vietnam. The useless surrender monkeys on the left are; the same crowd that wants to run away from Iraq.

Answer 5

I don't know.  I don't get it.

He wasn't much of a pilot either.  He crash at least 5 jets.

Answer 6

We did not lose the Vietnam war, I wish people would get this right.  Our troops were withdrawn.  Isn't that what the Left wants us to do now.  

Answer 7

Why is McCain a hero if we lost the Vietnam war?  Are you serious?

So then by your logic, if Obama does not get Universal Healthcare in place within his term, he will be a failure?

If a fire fighter goes into a building to save a child, but the child does of smoke inhalation, he is not a hero?

If a cop is killed in the line of duty, he is not a hero because he failed?

That's very strange logic.  Using your logic, I am wondering who you are voting for.  Wait, don't tell me, let's just leave that hanging....

Answer 8

BECAUSE HE WAS TORTURED! He had a chance to walk away, but stayed with his troops to endure more torture. This is a hero! Much more than Obama can say or ever will say.

Answer 9

First, the US did not lose the war in Viet Nam.  Sen. McCain is living proof of that.  We got our POWs back and that was part, but only a part, of the Republican victory.

We fought in Viet Nam to establish a Democtically elected goverment and to train their military so that they could take over their own defense.  After about 5 or 6 such governments, Viet Nam finally got one that met our specifications for victory.  

The US military performed a planned and orderly exist leaving the Viet Nam army to defend their country.

Err-Go and To-Wit : The US did not lose the Viet Nam war!  And, the US is not going to lose the War in Iraq for the same reason.

Answer 10

Like many Vietnam war vets, McCain doesn't like to talk about his experiences.

Oh, THAT John McCain. Yeah, he never met a question he couldn't answer with a bon mot about being held prisoner for 5 and a half years.
