Why couldnt john mccain try to escape the prison in vietnam?

Question

if he really tryed he could of,but he didnt.

Answer 1

Because he didn't want to.  The enemy became his friend and he ratted out the US

Answer 2

You're the expert, I guess.  

You were there, you know what the logistics of it would have been, you know whether or not he was locked up or chained down or whether he could walk about freely.

Wow, I love it when people sit in judgment over people and situations that they know NOTHING about.

Answer 3

Now that's just stupid, you act as if escaping a POW camp is easy.  Obviously you've never served your country, sitting behind a desk looking at g*y p**n on your lunch break is not serving your cvountry

Answer 4

Yeah he was just gonna run through enemy territory unarmed and then swim to America.  

Answer 5

Why can't YOU learn spelling and punctuation? Try putting down the Xbox, Sunshine.

Answer 6

Hey look,  i don't support McCain, but this is a totally BS Question.   How old where you when he was there, or where where you at when he was there. He faced a trial more than I can think of, as well I'm sure you can....   Right, wrong it don't matter, he was there and lived through it. That makes him a hero, not an American President.  JMO

Answer 7

maybe the rigors of the situation prevented such a quick escape.

glamorousvivica: remember what our teachers always say, "there's no such thing as a stupid question!"

lol.  

Answer 8

Dude, try finding your way into a hooked on phonics book before you discuss other people's abilities to find their way out of something.

Answer 9

And the spew get's dirtier and dirtier, uglier and uglier, dumber and dumber.

Congratulations for asking the most moronic question of the night!

Delecora - Our teachers didn't see this question.  And I didn't say stupid...I said 'moronic.'

Answer 10

It's kind of hard when they beat the **** out of you and break your bones every day.

Answer 11

John McCain was offered a chance to leave because Admiral John S. McCain Jr., commanded U.S. forces in the Pacific during Vietnam.  He chose not to leave unless they would release the ones that were captured before him.  

We don't know if he tried to break out or not.  Why the question

Answer 12

war-hero.. schmore-hero

Who needs 'em?

Answer 13

He was actually told he could leave by his captors because his father was a USN Admiral, but he refused to go until those that had been in captivity longer were released.
