Was McCain A War Hero ???

Donald Trump is in hot water again because he called out Senator John McCain:

However, it should be clear that there is something wrong with McCain's war record and his participation in the POW coverup:

He also apparently collaborated with the enemy, giving them information which put other US pilots in jeopardy and which may have affected the outcome of the war:


According to the elder Hopper, McCain told his North Vietnamese captors, “highly classified information, the most important of which was the package routes, which were routes used to bomb North Vietnam. He gave in detail the altitude they were flying, the direction, if they made a turn … he gave them what primary targets the United States was interested in.” Hopper contends that the information McCain provided allowed the North Vietnamese to adjust their air-defenses. As result, Hopper claims, the US lost sixty percent more aircraft and in 1968, “called off the bombing of North Vietnam, because of the information McCain had given to them.”

That does not sound like a "war hero" to me. It sounds like a collaborator trying to cover his tracks.


Update: Here is an article from Veterans Today which confirms my suspicions about McCain:
