Politically I can’t stand him. I’m separating politics from his Naval service. As I said Nam was not WW2 or even Korea. Our POW’s there faced brutal ongoing tortures for the longest period of war in our history as a nation. Did you forget that part? Could you withstand it? Well could you? If McCain’s treatment followed that of the one I knew they likely isolated him from day one. But I will say this. I’ll take Stockdale’s word on the matter of McCain’s behavior over yours any day.
