Yeah I definitely did not agree with everything that he did but his military career was second to none. He sacrificed for others, every step of the way. When he was captured, he refused to leave Vietnam until his men were let go, too.
He crashed a couple planes but other than that his record was exemplary.
In his personal life I didn't approve of what he did (leaving his first wife after she got into a car wreck etc) and he did have a real temper but then again 5 years of captivity would make anyone get angry - even the meekest of all of us.
