From what I uncovered in researching McCain last summer, he is a mostly phony, including his medals for ‘heroism’.
And I didn’t draw that conclusion without solid evidence. He really is a phony who got tortured in the Vietnam War and then proceeded to embellish and twist his suffering into a ‘hero’ story.
He is a liar because persons in the media take facts and omit details to make his history something that it is not and he goes along with it.
There is the serious question raised by fellow inmates at Hanoi Hilton that he ever was tortured at all. According to some soldiers, he turned as soon as he arrived and began broadcasting for the communists. By theirs and other accounts he is a coward on the order of Kerry.
His getting tortured is debatable.
