How sad. His brains obviously got totally scrambled while in captivity.
I agree...in most normal people, something would break.
But he is not only allowing himself to be used as a dupe, he believes the leftist agenda and is a spokesman for it.
John McCain was, for a short period, my commanding officer in a training squadron a few years after his release. That is all I know of him, other than what I read in the media.
But the fact he is fully in support of policies which are destructive and allows himself to be used as a bludgeon against conservatives when it suits the needs of the Left, well...that did it for me.
My silent support for this man went on long, long after I should have given it up. I am grateful to some Freepers who took the time to discuss it with me rationally instead of just flaming me to pieces.
I had to come to it in my own time, and getting scorched would have likely just made me stubborn.
His whole life, especially in childhood, was scrambled.
when he got back, his wife had dumped him.
He is a peace activist in California.
He says he doesn’t know what he’s going to do with his war memorabilia when he’s gone.

The media hunts for these guys. There are hundreds of former POWs, but they find this guy.
