Songbird McCain

Watch this video about prisoners held in the Hanoi Hilton.

Though McCain was among them, the REAL POW hero was James Stockdale. He was tortured, endlessly. They wanted him to make some propaganda films, so he sliced up his forehead with a razor so he wouldn’t be “presentable” to the camera. He received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his patriotism.

McCain was there too, but wasn’t tortured because of his lineage - son of an admiral. He eagerly complied to the Vietnamese requests for propaganda films...

As a VN vet, I'm well aware of Stockdale. He ran for office in 1992 as Perot's Vice President candidate.
IIRC, the lame stream media was grossly disrespectful to him.
