John McCain war hero?

In another thread regarding John McCain's actions recently a side debate broke out over the question is John McCain a war hero. His actions during the Forrestal incident were mentioned as well as his capture and POW treatment. A moderator correctly suggested we get back on topic, but I thought the discussion warranted its own thread
Below is an article about his war record and decorations. Importantly he never released this information, it was revealed under a freedom of information request by associated press

Now I am not a fan of John McCain nor his politics and I am glad he lost in 2008. That aside, if his actions during his military career do no consider him to be a hero, then I am buggered if anyone is deserving of the title
