Phoenix New Times, March 25, 1999 -- Two former POWs, Air Force Colonels Ted Guy and Gordon "Swede" Larson, said in a feature article that while they could not guarantee that McCain was not physically harmed, they doubted it. Both Guy and Larson were senior ranking officers (SRO's) in McCain's POW camp at a time he claims he was in solitary confinement and being tortured.
Larson told the New Times, "Between the two of us, it's our belief, and to the best of our knowledge, that no prisoner was beaten or harmed physically in that camp [known as 'The Plantation'].
"My only contention with the McCain deal is that while he was at The Plantation, to the best of my knowledge and Ted's knowledge, he was not physically abused in any way. No one was in that camp. It was the camp that people were released from."

Define war hero, and work back from that.

Some pilot who joined the military, fought for his country, was shot down, and tortured.

I suppose if you define someone who voluntarily goes into harm's way, for their country, and makes it out of the Hanoi Hilton, and all the claims of abuse a "hero", then he was. A lot of Americans call anyone who serves a "hero". In that regard, he was just another military chappie.

War Hero: Not John McCain :1orglaugh

In one word: Rambo
