Yeah, he gets the Purple Heart. He was wounded, we were at war = Purple Heart.

I do know my dad was livid over the Forrestal incident! My sisters and I also heard quite a bit about the whole Vietnam thing and the reasoning behind his not accepting the offer to come home earlier than he did. It certainly wasn't what he'd have the press portray it as.

A couple of guys I went to school with were there at the same time and one recently said they'd shot any family member that voted for that traitor! In fact, on his first tour he brought me back an Akai reel-to-reel/eight track player which I still have and which went to Woodstock AND taped the whole thing!

I admit that I'm completely ignorant about this side of McCain. I work
with a former Navy guy who wonders often and loudly why McCain was
able to survive 5 years in the Hanoi Hilton when the average survival
time was much lower (something like 2 years, I think).

At least I don't suppose anyone will be questioning that he earned his
Purple Heart(s), which I assume he holds.
