But getting shot down isn't one of them.  He was not shot down by another, better pilot.  He was shot down by a guided missile.  Lots of guys were and no one called them bad pilots for it.
As for the rest, I've had my issues with McCain, too, but your description of him better fits Trump, who's always whining he's being treated "so unfairly."  Now THAT's a whiner.

There is no doubt, no argument that McCain is a Hero.

Bad pilot????? Not good at evasion???????

 
Read this (form Wikipedia) twice then admit you made an asshole statement.

Then read it again and apologize, and admit he is a hero.

 
McCain's capture and subsequent imprisonment occurred on October 26, 1967. He was flying his 23rd bombing mission over Hanoi in North Vietnam when his A-4E Skyhawk was shot down by a missile.[34][35] McCain fractured both arms and a leg when he ejected from the aircraft,[36] and nearly drowned after he parachuted into Trúc Bạch Lake.[34] Some North Vietnamese pulled him ashore, then others crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt and bayoneted him.[34] McCain was then transported to Hanoi's main Hỏa Lò Prison, nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton".[35]
Although McCain was seriously wounded and injured, his captors refused to treat him. They beat and interrogated him to get information, and he was given medical care only when the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a high-ranking admiral.[37] His status as a prisoner of war (POW) made the front pages of major newspapers.[38][39]
McCain spent six weeks in the hospital, where he received marginal care.[34] He had lost 50 pounds (23 kg), was in a chest cast, and his gray hair had turned as white as snow.[34] McCain was sent to a different camp on the outskirts of Hanoi.[40] In December 1967, McCain was placed in a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live more than a week.[41] In March 1968, McCain was placed into solitary confinement, where he would remain for two years.[42]
In mid-1968, his father John S. McCain Jr. was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater, and the North Vietnamese offered McCain early release[43]because they wanted to appear merciful for propaganda purposes,[44] and also to show other POWs that elite prisoners were willing to be treated preferentially.[43]McCain refused repatriation unless every man taken in before him was also released. Such early release was prohibited by the POWs' interpretation of the military Code of Conductwhich states in Article III: “I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy”.[45] To prevent the enemy from using prisoners for propaganda, officers were to agree to be released in the order in which they were captured.[34]
Beginning in August 1968, McCain was subjected to a program of severe torture.[46] He was bound and beaten every two hours; this punishment occurred at the same time that he was suffering from dysentery.[34][46] Further injuries led McCain to attempt suicide, which was stopped by guards.[34] Eventually, McCain made an anti-U.S. propaganda "confession".[34] He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he later wrote, "I had learned what we all learned over there: every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine."[47][48]Many U.S. POWs were tortured and maltreated in order to extract "confessions" and propaganda statements;[49] virtually all of them eventually yielded something to their captors.[50]McCain received two to three beatings weekly because of his continued refusal to sign additional statements.[51]
McCain refused to meet various anti-war groups seeking peace in Hanoi, wanting to give neither them nor the North Vietnamese a propaganda victory.[52] From late 1969, treatment of McCain and many of the other POWs became more tolerable,[53] while McCain continued actively to resist the camp authorities.[54] McCain and other prisoners cheered the U.S. "Christmas Bombing" campaign of December 1972, viewing it as a forceful measure to push North Vietnam to terms.[48][55]
McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years until his release on March 14, 1973.[56] His wartime injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head.[57]

Have you ever taken off and landed on a carrierdeck?

Have you ever had to take off and land a plane on a carrier deck? Have you ever had to do so, knowing at anytime you could have a missile crawling up your ass? Doing all those plus much more makes, in support of our troops on the ground, make McCain a true war hero.

The fact that you even ask that question shows your total disregard for what our men and women go through to protect our country. I don't know if you do so just because you are totally clueless, or you're a total trumpet political hack. Like with him, nothing is sacred.

So after all of the lies that comes from the scum in chief.

You are going to post a response like this DUANE???
Just stop the bullshit already, defending this asshole!

You dolt, did you actually read DUANE's wrong-headed post.  He got it totally wrong and you look like a fool (as always) agreeing with him.
