This is BS: he was mistreated, tortured, and kept in horrific conditions.

Agreed. The torture was horrific, and everyone has a breaking point. I would challenge those throwing stones to endure 1/100th of that torture, and let's see how they would stand up to it.

Col "Bud" Day, Medal of Honor recipient, and one of the most decorated military officers of all time, was held with McCain. They were cellmates for a time. Day resisted, as did McCain. Both men eventually broke under severe, severe torture. They all did.

The people who are sitting on the sidelines today throwing judgment on these men are a__holes.

Plain and simple.

EX ACT LEE.

MCCAIN WAS A HERO FOR STAYING AND BEING TORTURED AND THE BEST AND BRAVEST OF THOSE POWs SAID SO.

Now his stand on immigration is crap imho.

Amen and some of the 300 retired high ranking officers who endorsed him were also POWS at that time. Of course they'd break. The torture at least at first was ongoing even for several years. NV's were very versed in the art. One of the POW's who did endorse McCain in 2008 I saw daily in my time in service.
