Not much it seems if you are John McCain. Learn About John McCain and how he treated a heroic man that probably saved McCain's life twice.

Shameful for McCain to act so cheaply. But it shows his true character.

How war hero John McCain betrayed the Vietnamese peasant who saved his life

On October 26, 1967, Mai Van On ran from the safety of a bomb shelter at the height of an air raid and swam out into the lake where Lieutenant Commander McCain was drowning, tangled in his parachute cord after ejecting when his Skyhawk bomber was hit by a missile.

In an extraordinary act of compassion at a time when Vietnamese citizens were being killed by US aerial bombardments, he pulled a barely conscious McCain to the lake surface and, with the help of a neighbour, dragged him towards the shore.

And when a furious mob at the water's edge began to beat and stab the captured pilot, Mr On drove them back.

Nearly three decades later, a Vietnamese government commission confirmed he was indeed the rescuer and, in a 1996 meeting in Hanoi, McCain embraced and thanked Mr On and presented him with a Senate memento.

From that brief encounter to his death at the age of 88 two years ago, Mr On never heard from the senator again, and three years after their meeting, McCain published an autobiography that makes no mention of his apparent debt to Mr On.

It is a snub Mr On took to his death.

His widow, Bui Thi Lien, 71, said: “In his last years, my husband was very sad sometimes.

He would say, 'Mr McCain has forgotten me.'

”Mr McCain would be dead if it weren't for my husband. He would never have returned to his family and he wouldn't be in the presidential race today.”.........

This is fucking pathetic, and I'm not talking about McCains actions.

What an asshole.

McCain was/is rich as fuck. He could have given this guy anything he wanted. He should have at least set him up for life in Vietnam, the currency is cheap.

You're a fucking idiot.

So are you talking about John McCain not being big enough to tell the truth as it happened on that day that he was so near death and a stranger was heroic and put his life at risk to save a man he did not even know?

You're a fucking idiot.

:p <--- You (http://meatspin.com)

You're a fucking idiot.

If the irony was any thicker I would stab you in the face.

so was this guy a northerner or southerner. that could be one reason why hes not doing it. i mean, is neocon attitude probably wont acknowledge 'some commie farmboy' saving his life
