You are full of crap. I am no fan of McCain. But he was offered the opportunity for early release because his father was an admiral. McCain instead said that the protocol of release in order of capture should be followed. And he paid for it dearly.

One little tidbit of information needs to be added. Some of the POWs did accept early release. I don't blame them in the least, I may have done the same.

It does highlight McCain's refusal.
