None of us knows about McCain’s Hanoi years.
We do know about McCain’s early service years.
We also know how he treated Veterans and the families of people still missing in action from Vietnam. We know on whose behalf he treated these people that way.
We also know of McCain’s trips to Libya. We know who he was willing to have his picture taken with.
We also know who he lobbied on behalf of, for weapons in Syria. It was al Qaeda. And while Mr. McCain could claim he didn’t know, the rest of us were almost sure of it. He should have known what we do now after the fact.
In light of what I do know about McCain related to his military service and his years afterwards, I have serious grave questions as to his Hanoi years.
I’m not going to trash him for those years, because I just don’t know, but I have a hard time thinking a man like McCain who has been a lecherous flunkie his whole live when we could see him, was suddenly and temporarily a super hero when we couldn’t see what he was doing.
I agree you on each of these points.
I have several friends who served with McCain in Prison Camp. They have been very closed lips even when well lubricated with very good whiskey. They won’t talk about McCain’s conduct as well as all the rest. They believe that what happened inside was their business and they decided to handle it themselves. I have suspected, but the people who know aren’t talking, as far as I know.
Damn good of you...post!
