Question

What is the TRUTH about McCain's P.O.W. experience? ?

Answer 1

The truth is in 1967; McCain was volunteering to fly combat missions over Hanoi, while Obama was attending school in Jakarta.

Fully aware that his life could be truncated or altered to unbelievable proportions by flying over Hanoi, McCain was there, none-the-less, repeatedly.

The truth is, surviving his initial ejection injuries and subsequent enemy inflicted injuries are a testament to his fortitude. He's so tough he couldn't even kill himself.

His "confession", his deal with the devil, was for better medical care and was attended by his tormentors.

Kerry's "confession" was for perceived political gain delivered on the floor of an attentive Congress before a friendly press.

The offer from the Communists to release McCain early based on "privilege" of lineage was not meant to benefit McCain, his family, their war effort or any cause outside of its usefulness in tormenting those left behind. It was to be merely a tool to cause anguish among those "less privileged" prisoners.

The character of a man who would eschew privilege because of the harm it would cause others cannot be questioned.

Answer 2

I always find questions like this very creepy.

Look, the man was held prisoner for 5 years, and, suffered torment and physical abuse that is the personification of evil on earth.

I appreciate an open society that encourages critical thinking, but really, it also encourages those whose opinion is better left unsaid, to speak.

Answer 3

The truth he was captured and tortured.  they offered to let him go (so they could use it as propaganda) and McCain refused unless every man that was captured before he was was released as well.  Obviously he wasn't let go and spent years in that h**l hole basically voluntarily for his country..

Answer 4

We'll never know. He's fought hard to keep his records hidden.

Answer 5

The truth is that he could still kick your little liberal hiney, EVEN AT 72.

Answer 6

The truth is that John McCain was willing to fight for his country.  He was captured and held for years and when he had the chance to flip on his friends and fellow prisoners he did NOT leave them!  He was not willing to be a puppet for propaganda and stayed steadfast in his convictions.

Obama when faced with a self sacrificing choice chooses to LEAVE his friends and comrades--even a pastor of 20 years....  he is a quitter! Obama quits, flakes out, flip flops.... and will ultimately lose leaving the way clear for Hillary in 4 years to come back.

Answer 7

That it sucked being a POW.

Answer 8

If it's a war and hostages are often casualties of war, why would McCain be freed because his father was an admiral?  Why does this not pass smell test?

Answer 9

The Truth is he's a true AMERICAN hero.

It's really that simple.

Answer 10

The truth is that crashing your plane, giving secrets to the enemy and signing war crimes confessions makes you a "hero" to republicans unless your a democrat.  

See John Kerry/Switboat or Max Cleland for details.
