We see here our Noah building His wondrous ark for the salvation of His household. We see its beginning, middle, and end. We see its different parts, external and internal; each plank as it is laid, each nail as it is driven in. Its form is perfect; its structure in all details is complete; its strength and stability are altogether divine. Yet with what labour and amid what mockings is this ark constructed! Amid what strong crying and tears, what blood and agony, is it completed! Thus, however, we are assured of its... perfection---and security. Through the deep waters of this evil world it floats in peace. No storm can overset it, no billow break it, nor so much as loosen one of its planks. They who have fled to it as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, are everlastingly safe."
Considering his respect in this forum, I think that gives weight to a McCain/POW report:

Zipping down to the POW debate ....
” ...McCain’s defenders are a little short on specifics as to why the senator invariably seemed to place the interests of Vietnam above those of American POW/MIAs. For example when the Missing Service Personnel Act of 1996 came up on the Senate Floor for debate, Senator McCain characterized this legislation as “un-necessary” and “burdensome.”
Nevertheless, this “unnecessary and burdensome” legislation was backed by the man who wore a POW bracelet for McCain throughout the years of his captivity, then-majority leader Bob Dole. [snip]
Good find. Thanks for the ping.
Glad to help, FRiend. It’s distasteful trying to research this about a war hero. But darn.
He’s still fighting.
Interesting.

But neither source is respected by the FR. Looked for cross-sourcing.
What’s odd is that I was pinged here while gone and didn’t notice until researching several years later.
