Those of us who were around “in those days” when the POWs were released remember that John McCain was not viewed as a hero but as a traitor. He was not revered as he has become over the years. His own father and grandfather turned their backs on him. His own mother said during the election “just hold your nose and vote for him”. No small wonder he went back and became involved in getting the US to do business with Vietnam and no small wonder he often sits near John Kerry in Congress. He has managed to create his own reputation thanks to his second wife’s mega bucks and the stupidity of the some American people....a bit like what is going on in the White House now. History is changed too much, too often and too dishonest.
Amen and indeed. We are a nation distracted by lies and distortions of reality. It is very difficult to know where the truth lies anymore... if there is any at all.
