the POW Bit...
Peadco Sir: Who are you to question? And based on what? A single article (that doesn't sit right in your mind) in light of someone's political actions that you do not agree with??? Poor form Sir.
Belaying his political agenda...
There have been numerous books written (NOT by McCain) that refer in detail to his particular stint at Hua Lo. Additionally, I have had opportunity to read through some of the interrogation reports generated from Hua Lo and the "details" on methods of extraction methods are incorporated. Torture at Hua Lo was commonplace and encouraged.
Mr. McCain's POW claims, and his actions under those circumstances, should not come under question. His information about that time in his Naval carreer has been corraborated, lauded, and proven as true by multiple sources.
We have enough problems with REAL POW / SOF Posers, let's not try and make one out of someone who has suffered for this country at the hands of another.
Thank you for your lengthy service and time in SRV.
