True. The problem is not that he was a POW. It's that when he had the chance to ensure the return of MIA/POW's that were still in prison camps, he and KERRY sold out to the Viet Cong. Kerry's relative got an exclusive deal on realty sales in Vietnam.
McCain was promised he would be allowed to one day run for President.
After taking an 'escorted' tour, Kerry and McCain signed a document stating that there were NO AMERICANS left in Vietnamese prison camps.
Many have forgotten about how he stopped the further search and demands for our POWs. Most of us Vets haven't.
