I loathe John McCain, but anything he did in an asian POW camp is just survival. The criminals there were the Vietnamese, not some tortured prisoner.
While I agree with your statement, think of the thousands of other POWs who were discouraged beyond comprehension who heard this in disbelief at the time.
It was such an ugly war.
Another point, isn’t this treason? I don’t think he should be charged with treason for the reasons you stated. There were many rumors about this when McCain ran for president.
Exactly. McCain is a loathsome piece of dung but everybody who has had the crap kicked out of them under pressure and NOT caved please come to the front of the line.
Alabama Senator Jeremiah Denton and Perot’s VP John Stockdale come to mind...but that’s a short (dead) list.
Yes, but McCain never gave up the Tokyo Rose style posturing after he came home.
