A truly decent and courageous man.

Condolences to Cindy and his family.

I'm not a fan of "war heroes", and obviously not a fan of the Republicans (in the US), but I think McCain was a decent man deep down.

His heart was in the right place, but he just made a few bad decisions.

I have to take my hat off to any man who lived through five years of torture from the "enemy".

Never thought I'd see Pecca show admiration for a man who bombed North Vietnam and probably killed civilians?

Which is exactly why I said:

"I'm not a fan of "war heroes" ... "

And, "he made a few bad decisions."

At the time, he thought he was doing the right thing.

But I still don't excuse him for dropping bombs on people.

I admire the fact that he was intelligent, though.

i.e. he learned from his mistakes.

I guess you (and everyone else) never thought you'd see the day that you graduated from year 10, either.

You proved 'em all wrong though.
