"Once I read that when all the POW's returned home, they were shown on TV getting off a plane: all but McCain were emaciated and starving while he looked hale and hearty"

I recall seeing a tape of him getting off the plane, and he could barely walk. It was a struggle to stand erect and give a salute, but he did, and it was very moving. I have problems with a lot of McCain's current choices and actions, but have great respect for his service.
