Surely the headline will have progressives in an uproar but hear Michael Savage out before you cast judgement. John McCain is no angel, in his final days/ weeks/ months he is showing the true man many of us already knew him to be of a miserable, angry, vindictive SOB lashing out at anyone he opposes, including Pres Trump and his pick for CIA Chief Gina Haspel.
Instead of retiring from the Senate, as any of us would do, focusing all our energy on our health and spending as much time as possible with our family, McCain remains defiant. Savage lays out the case to call McCain a traitor, you can either listen or ignore the facts, but McCain has done things that have aided enemies to this country, taken positions working against the US. Do you not remember when he visited with "Syrian rebels" and was adamant to arm them only for us to learn in the following months/ years these rebels were ISIS!?
McCain attacks POTUS and has vowed to vote against Gina Haspel over her involvement with Enhanced Interrogation. McCain believes Haspel is not qualified for the job because he thinks waterboarding cold-blooded jihadist killers is torture!
Waterboarding is not torture, it is psychological of the highest order; simulated drowning. Torture is the act of inflicting permanent physical harm, there is no comparison between the two. McCain and others making this claim are conflating waterboarding with ones finger nails and/ or teeth being removed or far far worse, where power drills are used on the body and being burned, are one in the same. They're not, special operators are subjected to waterboarding in their training, so it were a problem don't you think they would be saying something? If they don't have a problem with it why should you?
John McCain is not a good man, he's done things to screw this country over during his time as a US Senator and it is shameful.. SHAMEFUL his service is being used, as Savage explains, as an excuse for him to be an obstructionist (like democrats). He vehemently acts against the President (fine whatever), but reneged on a campaign promise which in effect was an act of fraud on voters! Yea America, Arizona voters, if you voted and donated for McCain because he PROMISED he would vote to repeal obamacare, he committed fraud when he voted against it! He in fact was a traitor to every single man and woman who voted for him on that issue alone!
I'm sorry the man is not... NOT a hero.
Now before people get their panties in a wad answer this:
Do you celebrate and praise people as heroes for doing their job?
Is a cop a hero when they do their job issuing a parking ticket to taking on bank robbers?
Is a fireman a hero for putting out a fire, getting a cat down from a tree or extricating someone from a car wreck?
The answer is NO, because they're doing the job they chose to do of their own free will.
John McCain was a fighter pilot, a job he chose of his own free will. He had to go through flight training and he also went through SERE school? What's SERE school? SERE stands for Survive, Evade, RESIST, Escape, and it is training ALL pilots receive because there is a high possibility they will get shot down over enemy lines and be captured if they survive the crash.
Getting shot down and caught is part of their job. Got it?
John McCain was shot down and captured where he was imprisoned for 5 years at the infamous Hanoi Hilton. He RESISTED his captors, and yet for some reason he is being championed a hero for doing the job he wanted and was trained to do!? Sorry America, he's not a hero, he did his job and calling him and people heroes for doing their jobs diminishes the value of the word Hero.
A hero is a cop with no special equipment (breathing gear, fire retardant clothing etc) who runs into a burning building to save people a few floors up.
A hero is fireman or paramedic who runs into the line of gunfire, unarmed, to save someone and bring them to safety.
A hero is a 20 yr old student passing by a burning home, stops, runs in to help an elderly woman escape death.
These are a few of many examples of one being a hero. Sadly the word is abused now, everyone is a hero in the age of entitlement and participation trophies. But John McCain is no hero, he's no patriot, he's lousy politician who accomplished very little during his time in Congress and is really the poster child for Term Limits.
Hero is a title/ label that has been insanely abused, twisted and perverted over the last decade or so. This title was once reserved for those who truly went above and beyond whatever position or role they held, where ones age and gender is irrelevant. Hero is someone who takes/took a great risk to save lives, prevent catastrophe up to and including sacrificing their own life. The police officers, firemen and other first responders who ran back into the World Trade Center on 9/11 after the collapse of the South Tower are heroes. Two 
Did John McCain go through horrendous circumstances while a POW during Vietnam? Absolutely, but does this justify the title of hero? IMO NO. McCain was a combat pilot, paid to take risks, get captured and die if necessary. He in fact did what he was trained to do resisting his abusive, sadistic captors for 5 years (thanks to his 
Has Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner lived a remarkable life and finally coming to grips with who they are being a voice for the trans community? Yes, but does Jenner deserve to be called a hero? IMO NO. Jenner chose to be an Olympian who excelled winning the gold medal. Jenner also accepted who they are internally after a lifetime battle and "came out" to live the rest if their life as a woman. But neither of these are things justifying being called a hero. Jenner did not personally save lives from the grips of death or preserve national treasure, there was no sacrifice for God and Country.
