I’ve always doubted the stories of the heroic McCain in the POW camp...for the main reason that we’ve never seen any courage, let alone bravery, by McCain in the Senate. He’s always done the most gutless thing possible in Washington, which is to talk bad about conservatives to the media.
Even got into a big argument on the radio with G Gordon Liddy about this in the 90s.....I was very early to the anti McCain Party...1992. I was alone at the time....
Kudos to you for seeing the real McCain back then. I didn’t even know who he was in ‘92. I found stories about his conduct in captivity but I don’t pass them on, there’s just so much calumny post-service from him I don’t see the need to go there.
I’m sure some effort in an internet search would find them.
Don’t you get a huge military award for running out of fuel and crashing his plane? What kind of award did he get for almost destroying the aircraft carrier?
I don’t know how many enemy McCain killed but McCain killed 134 sailors and injured 161 on the USS Forrestal.
