On Heroism

So, John McCain is labelled a “war hero” for having been a POW for about five years.

I guess being a POW for a long time is all you need to become a “war hero.”
One would think being tortured for so long would not make one a better candidate to be a President, but then, logic doesn’t come easily to humans.

Let us consider this another way:

Many “detainees,*” at Guantanamo Bay have been there for six years now.
Does this make them more “heroic” than John McCain?

Considering the circumstances, I believe I’d say yes.

So:

I’m voting for Guantanamo Detainees in 2008.

Those motherfuckers are heroic as shit.

*Detainee, is of course, a dehumanizing way to say “POW” and make people feel less bad about the torture they endure.
