He handled himself with honor as a POW and got almost every bone in his body broken for his trouble........

His bones were broken from the plane crash. The Vietnamese got him a doctor to set the bones, when they realized they had captured an admiral's son.

I believe it was the third plane he had crashed in his career.

He turned his back on the MIAs.

And what would have been the consequences if he didn’t?

“He handled himself with honor as a POW...”

There is disagreement with that statement by some former POWs.

What exactly does that have to do with the debt ceiling?

Which is admirable but doesn't excuse his backstabbing or his stupidity.
