The one POW that endorsed McCain was his cell mate for the first 3 weeks only....
Right after the North Vietnamese confirmed that McCain was a son of an Admiral and World War II hero they moved McCain.
The other POWs against McCain were his fellow P.O.W.s for the remainder of the time at the Hanoi Hilton.
McCain is NOT a hero. He cracked and gave away information that got U.S. Navy and Marine Pilots killed.
