I shalln't retract, and just because you think I insulted YOUR hero... I have read a ton on him, etc , I know the historical accounts etc - the biased, self told etc. But, I also served in the Gulf War and perhaps because life3 is remembered 30 days at a time - hero is status that one doesn't promote, or allows to be promoted. There is nothing at wrong with my comment of he was in the wrong place at the wrong time - nor anything else I said. Get over it.
Heroes are those guys giving their life (or have given) over there in Iraq for reasons they do not comprehend - just they know its the right thing to do and the only thing to do to make it back home. McCain supported this "our generation war", and you would think after all that experience, he might actually have talked some sense into the administration and talked them out of the actions.
So, no I shalln't retract - and if you feel I insulted someone - take a step back. I served in the 1st Gulf War - I am entitled and fought for this country - I earned that right to make that statement.
