McCain served our nation, for this I am grateful. That said, he’z lost his ever-lovin mind in years since.
McCain has lost all sense of servitude as the peoples representative. He has become pompous, arrogant and elitist.
McCain IS the problem in government and he must be removed from office.
Thank you for your service JM.
I wouldn’t presume to judge McCain on this one, not having walked in his shoes.
If the goal of releasing this tape is to damage John McCain it is a mistake.
Criticise him for his political career but not his actions under extreme torture. No one can judge another in that circumstance,you resist to the best of your ability,most gave some,some gave all

I’m no fan of John McCain but this is a new low. Especially for FR.
Please ask the mods to delete this post.
POW is no reason to elect a Communist to Congress.
McCain is, was, always will be a LOSER.
No apologies.
I despise McCain and think he is a traitor to the U.S. on too many counts to name. However, we need to stay FAR AWAY from this under-duress crap, especially Kelli Ward
He’s turning 80! Voters of Arizona it’s time for McCain to collect his ample pension and leave us the hell alone.
Here is one of John McCain’s propghanda radio messages he did for the communist in Nirth Vietnam. The museum in Hanoi said they over a dozen radio messages from him you can listen to. McCain of course never wanted this to get out.
Bottom line, he could have come home early but he didn’t and Adm Stockdale praised him for it.
John McCain in the Crucible
Commentary by James B. Stockdale
The New York Times
..... I think John McCain is solid as a rock.
And I consider it blasphemy to smudge the straight-arrow prisoner-of-war
record of a man who was near death when he arrived at Hoa Loa prison 1967:
both arms broken, left leg broken, left shoulder broken by a civilian with a
rifle butt.
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.
There was a special cramped and hot privy-like structure in that Hanoi
prison
reserved for whichever American was causing the Vietnamese the most trouble.
I was the first in the camp to be locked up in it, and I gave it the name
Calcutta.
There was only room for one person at a time in the cage, and after a couple
of months I was taken out and marched back to a regular cell. As I limped
along, I sneaked a peek at my replacement: John McCain, hobbling along on
his
own bad leg.
James B. Stockdale, a retired Navy Vice Admiral, was the Reform Party
vice-presidential candidate in 1992.

Not likely.
They North Vietnamese didn’t call him Songbird for no reason.
Five and a half years in a brutal commie prison and he has to relive this? He’s not so good politically but deserves much love for surviving to the end. Only people that could critique him for this IMHO is others who have spent time and the HH-NVM. Not many could survive that.
