McCain also refused to be released before the other POW’s he was with.
The NVA wanted to turn him loose because of his daddy, but McCain said no.
I won’t vote for him in the primaries, be has earned my respect.
I’ve heard this too.
I don’t completely understand what the circumstances are though. When a POW, aren’t you still in the service and still respecting rank of your fellow inmates and still taking orders from your superiors? aren’t your captives supposed to clear anything with the highest ranking prisoner first?
So shouldn’t McCain have told them to go talk to his superior and then do as his superior says?
