The differences are: (1) the correct spelling of McCain’s name; (2) the correct identification of his rank and military branch (USNAF, not USAF); and (3) by dropping TÊN from TÊN PHI CÔNG, which makes the text becomes more formal and fair. TÊN is a classifier for despicable individuals such as enemies, thieves, robbers, cheaters, and rapists.

It’s a little like calling this historical marker a “Bonnie and Clyde Memorial”
