I don’t think he ever really fought “for” our country. He crashed his planes, and then went hostage. I firmly believe he sold out our country and gave away any information he could have.
I know he was not treated badly, his father was a high ranking officer. He was too valuable.
I would bet he did everything, including selling out his fellow POW’s to get preferential treatment.
When he came out on that film, he claimed he was coerced into talking good about his captivity. I claim Bravo Sierra. He WAS treated well, while the other POW’s were not.
Time has shown the McCains (starting with HIM, not his father) are spineless-self-serving cowards.
He is a disgrace. He gets no pass from me for serving in the armed forces. I have known many idiots who were with me in the Army, and not all were patriots. Many would have sold me off for a candy bar. It is nice to wax eternal about how loyal they all were and that we were brothers in arms, but some were just downright un-trustworthy. Fact Jack.
and btw, I think the best way to describe his captivity was the he was the “maverick” and he was the only non-patriot at the Hanoi Hilton.
