From Admiral Stockdale’s book p.254:
There was little concern in any American’s mind about the possibility of the Vietnamese throwing anybody out to defame him; we now knew the Vietnamese well enough to be sure that any early releasee would have to buy his way out by groveling on his knees before the Communists, bad-mouthing America. I gave their new release program a name: FRP — the “Fink Release Program,” and that was the way it was to be known. I also issued an order that started on its way to the other cell blocks of Las Vegas and with subsequent movers to the camps elsewhere in the city and outside it: “No early release; we all go home together”.
I can only assume that, based on Stockdale’s statement, that IF McCain was offered an early release it was because McCain was guilty of trying to “...buy his way out by groveling on his knees before the Communists, bad-mouthing America.”
Your reading comprehension is terrible.
Reread Stockdale's statment:
"He was eventually taken to the same rat-infested hospital room I had occupied two years earlier, and, like me, he had surgery on his leg. By then the Vietnamese had discovered that his father was the ranking admiral in the Pacific Fleet, and he received an offer that, as far as I know, was made to no other American prisoner: immediate release, no strings attached. He refused, thereby sentencing himself to four more years in a cell.
Do you understand what 'no strings attached' means? We're left with two choices: You'd sink in a sea of lead, or Admiral Stockdale is a liar.
