Shame on you! Just how in the hell do you think Bud Day’s feelings about McCain “bought” him a Medal of Honor?
Bud Day praised McCain’s behavior. Didn’t just remain silent. Although a political opponent of McCain, Day praised McCain’s behavior in the Hilton. And he certainly was in a position to know!

I never said it did. What I am saying is the POW’s were all treated cruelly but only the Hanoi Songbird sang this tune:
From the National Archives and Records Administration, McCain says he is guilty of “crimes against the Vietnamese country and people” and compliments his medical treatment.
“The doctors were very good and they knew a great deal about the practice of medicine,” McCain says on the tape. “I remained in the hospital for some time and regained much of my health and strength. Since I arrived in the camp of detention, I have received humane and lenient treatment. I received this kind treatment and food even though I came here as an aggressor and the people who I injured have much difficulty in their living standards. I wish to express my deep gratitude for my kind treatment and I will never forget this kindness extended to me.”
And BTW he was most certainly NOT an opponent of McCain politically.
McCain was captured, likely tortured beyond his capacity, and nicknamed ‘Songbird’ by his captors. Can’t judge him for that as I wasn’t in his shoes.
He would have been a hero except he dishonored himself later. McCain became a champion of the Muslim Brotherhood. McCain defended Hussein.
He should have supported his President Trump, but he instead supported the coup to overthrow the duly elected President.
McCain did not die on his own terms, he was a traitor in the end.
Why are you defending the SongBird?
