What a load of bull crap, vicious nonsense.
McCain, like all POW's underwent extensive debriefment and he was deemed sane, unlike his detractors who regularly launch vicious attacks on his POW days, namely one sick idiot, Ted Sampley, who I think, might have finally passed from this earth.
Let's keep it simple, shall we? By their deeds you shall know them.
John McCain, Prisoner of War: A First-Person Account
published in U.S. News in May 1973
I think it was on the fourth day that two guards came in, instead of one. One of them pulled back the blanket to show the other guard my injury. I looked at my knee. It was about the size, shape and color of a football. I remembered that when I was a flying instructor a fellow had ejected from his plane and broken his thigh. He had gone into shock, the blood had pooled in his leg, and he died, which came as quite a surprise to us—a man dying of a broken leg. Then I realized that a very similar thing was happening to me.
When I saw it, I said to the guard, “O.K., get the officer.” An officer came in after a few minutes. It was the man that we came to know very well as “The Bug.” He was a psychotic torturer, one of the worst fiends that we had to deal with. I said, “O.K., I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.” He left and came back with a doctor, a guy that we called “Zorba,” who was completely incompetent. He squatted down, took my pulse. He did not speak English, but shook his head and jabbered to “The Bug.” I asked, “Are you going to take me to the hospital?” “The Bug” replied, “It’s too late.” I said, “If you take me to the hospital, I’ll get well.”
“Zorba” took my pulse again, and repeated, “It’s too late.” They got up and left, and I lapsed into unconsciousness.
Sometime later, “The Bug” came rushing into the room, shouting, “Your father is a big admiral; now we take you to the hospital.”

I wonder how many of the wingnuts who spend their whole day focused on hating the McCain family could pass similar tests.
This crap degrades FR and all its users.
