It was the same thing with Cpt. Scott O'Grady in 1995. His F-16 was shot down over Bosnia. He lived off of rain water and by eating bugs. Six days later the Marines rescued him.
The media made him out to be a big hero, cover of magazines and everything.
So why isn't the pilots who dodged the missiles heros? Why weren't the rescuers shaking hands with the President?
In my book you're not a hero for saving your own ass. You're a hero for saving someone else's.
