"John Mc Cain", the only POW who came out of captivity weighing more that he did when he went in. (Per one of the Hanoi POWs.)

I've heard that before, but what does it mean?

Natan Sharansky according to his book was well fed for a few months prior to being released as well, trying to hide the mistreatment that he experienced.

Was he at the Hanoi Hilton too? I don't recall his name. What year was he shot down? Navy, Air Force, Marine, Army? I don't remember who made the comment about Mc Cain, but I think it was the Navy Officer with the thick eyebrows. Who ever it was, implied that Mc Cain got preferential treatment. Hey, when your dad is an admiral........
