I always felt his personal virtue as a POW was balanced by him dumping his wife after she was disabled by an accident, so he could marry a young heiress.So that put him at baseline for me.His nasty campaign and choice of dumb**** Palin has put him in the loser category since then.
I don't understand where the Hero business came in. Over 500 other men were imprisoned along with him, and they all suffered, some of them even worse than he did. He did his duty. For that he is owed respect. But he was never a hero. He sang like a canary so his captors would give him medical care. His fellow prisoners used to call him "songbird." Has everyone forgotten about that?

Conservatives tend to trust authority whereas liberals tend to challenge authority.

They must find it difficult...Those who have taken the authority as the truth, rather than the truth as the authority. Gerald Massey.
