"McCain claims he refused, because he demanded all American POWs captured before him be released as well. He thus remained a prisoner when he could have gone home, and was subjected to constant brutal beatings and torture for years: that is the source of the "war-hero" saga making McCain a greater war-hero than any other American POW. Yet the offer of release would had to have been approved by the GRU overseers of the North Vietnamese - and T does not recall any such offer being made."

This looks like a landmind, waiting to blow John McCain up, if and when he gets the Republican nomination.

Nobody, least of all McCain, has ever claimed McCain was "a greater war-hero than any other American POW" except those who are setting up a Strawman to battle.

If the Clintons or anybody else want to sink to the level of whale shit at the bottom of the ocean to trash McCain on his service in Vietnam, they are welcome to eat all the whale shit they want but it will poison them in the end.

McCain's refusal to be released was even remarked upon by North Vietnamese officials to U.S. envoy Averell Harriman at the ongoing Paris Peace Talks.
