Everybody argues that being a POW does not a keen military tactician make you. In my humble opinion, rightly so. However, I have to agree that flying a dangerous mission in which you are told there is a distinct possibility of death but you do it to save countless other lives qualifies as heroic, while being held against your will, beaten and tortured, and buckling under intense mental and physical duress qualifies as doing whatever you can to save your ass. Not necessarily heroic.
