I personally do not believe he was tortured in “NaM”. The damage to his upper body could, and more likely, have been caused by a faulty ejection seat in his aircraft when he was shot down.
His father was in charge of the armada off shore at that time. “johnnie” was too valuable of a catch to torture! The medical care from the enemy was crude and no attempt to operated on him to correct “Harness damage” was done.
I agree with you. Further than that, I believe he deliberately let himself be shot down to sit out the war. He hated the military.
Interesting theory and it wouldn’t really surprise me if it were true.
The subject is not what McCain endured at the hands of the communists in Vietnam—because it is without doubt— it is what we are enduring here today with the communists in the White House; and the total waste of time and money in questioning a successful company.
The subject matter here is McCain’s reprehensible performance in the Senate. Numerous witnesses saw him in the Hanoi Hilton and the guy endured torture that would make 99% of Americans piss their pants in fear.
So how about focusing on SENATOR McCain and stop with the impugning of his military background, OK?
