Galanti spoke highly of McCain. Said the NV wanted to send McCain home, but McCain refused to go and leave the other POWs behind. The NV were furious with McCain and then beat the hell out of him. I had never heard this from a firsthand witness. Raised my respect for John McCain.
Galanti also told Sean that he supported and voted for McCain in the primary, but had voted for George Bush versus Al Gore.
Thank you very much for sharing those additional details of Galanti's comments.
