McCain was a propaganda tool for the North Vietnamese and is now for the PROG press that uses him when it suits its purpose. I appreciate his time in service but not his trading on it throughout his political career, kinda like Kerry+++ and LBJ.
I have known a few WWII veterans who were captured and none of them put on airs of a hero because they were a POW.

I go to church with a gentleman who parachuted into Normandy with the 101st. He was captured and sent to a prison camp in Poland. They were liberated by the Soviets. They had to walk 700 miles back up the path the Germans had invaded and retreated, then walk down to the Black Sea. They were given nothing by the Soviets. Had to scrounge for food the whole way.
He is 95 and still golfs weekly. You would never have a clue about his war exploits.
