Yes, you did.
Despite having NO evidence whatsoever to justify your claim, you stated that there is “no doubt” that McCain was “merely” following orders when he refused early release.
Since the same lack of evidence is in place regarding other POWs, why would the same “logic” you applied to John McCain not also apply to every other POW who refused early release?
Why else would you use the term “merely following orders” to apply to the lose-lose decision those men took?

BS. The evidence is in Admiral Stockdale’s own words.
