What did you like about John McCain?

There was a recent thread about McCain that was quite unanimous about how positive people felt about him. They felt he was a “war hero” and was “principled”.

Specifically, what “principles” or policies did you respect?

I’m looking at someone responsible for much death and suffering, who voted Republican often enough to not deserve any “maverick” status, and is now being described as someone worthy of respect. Why is this?

Was it his support and participation in wars of aggression? Be specific. Thanks
