I’m serious. Several POWs have alleged that he received special treatment including better food and better clothing because he was an admiral’s son or in exchange for information provided.

Some have gone to bat for him, though.

I believe that if McCain receives the nomination, he will be “Swift Boated” by former POWs.

I am dubious of these POW claims but again, I was not there. I do know that he suffered greatly in serving his Country and that is enough for me. The difference between Kerry and McCain is great. Swift boating Kerry was easy, his lies were exposed and verified. McCain's detractors would only be able to express subjective reservations.

Big time! In fact I said that to my sister earlier today.
